CRISPR-Cas 9 Mediated Disruption of the FOSL1a Gene in D. rerio

Lyiba Malik, “CRISPR-Cas 9 Mediated Disruption of the FOSL1a Gene in D. rerio” Mentor: Ava Udvadia, Biological Sciences Poster #88 Central nervous system regeneration, specifically regeneration of the optic nerve, is not observed in mammals. This phenomenon is observed in D. rerio due to the differential…… Read More

Cross Species Comparison of WT1 Expression during Optic Nerve Regeneration

Ayana Staples, “Cross Species Comparison of WT1 Expression during Optic Nerve Regeneration” Mentor: Ava Udvadia, Biological Sciences Poster #141 Glaucoma or serious injury to the optic nerve can lead to irreversible nerve damage and blindness. Unfortunately, mammals cannot fully regenerate…… Read More
