SUMMARY:Phages and CRISPR-Cas in the classroom - Professor Sylvain Moineau
 \, Universite Laval\, Quebec\, Canada
DTSTART:20170119T135000Z

CONTACT:Ilana Spilka
DESCRIPTION:Thanks to the genome-editing tool\, CRISPR-Cas systems have ca
 ught the eye of politicians\, the media\, the general public\, and our stu
 dents. The field of CRISPR-Cas provides a fantastic opportunity for microb
 iology education. It offers a learning experience that illustrates the int
 erconnectedness of multiple curriculum areas. Students must use knowledge 
 gained in various fields to fully grasp the activities of CRISPR-Cas syste
 ms. For the past four years\, we have integrated CRISPR-Cas into our Micro
 biology program in both lecture and laboratory environments. This seminar 
 will present the laboratory course where students have studied CRISPR-Cas 
 as an defense system against phage infections.
