Research Accepted at MIT URTC
Siddharth’s research paper, “Feasibility of Human Germline Genetic Editing Using CRISPR/Cas9,” was accepted at the MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference (MIT URTC 2023) in Massachusetts.
His research examines the feasibility of human germline genetic editing using CRISPR/Cas9. This gene-editing technology allows researchers to make targeted changes to DNA. The topic raises important scientific and ethical questions about the future of genetic research.
MIT students organised the conference in partnership with IEEE. The event featured student research papers, poster presentations, talks by industry experts, and networking opportunities.
Congratulations to Siddharth on this remarkable achievement!
