Workshop - Frontier of Nucleic Acid Science and Technology

01:00pm - 05:00pm
LT-G, G/F (Lifts 25-26) , Academic Building, HKUST

Nucleic acids, like DNA and RNA, are crucial for life and have undergone significant advancements in science and technology.

New genome editing technologies such as CRISPR-Cas9 have revolutionized genetics by allowing precise modifications to DNA sequences, leading to promising treatments for genetic diseases and novel therapies.

High-throughput sequencing technologies have greatly advanced our understanding of genomics, transcriptomics, and epigenomics, enabling researchers to study the genetic basis of diseases, identify novel biomarkers, and develop personalized medicine approaches.

Synthetic biology, which involves designing and constructing new biological systems using nucleic acids, has the potential to revolutionize biotechnology in areas such as drug discovery, biomanufacturing, and environmental remediation.

Additionally, the use of DNA as a storage medium for digital data is a promising new area of development in nucleic acid science and technology, with the potential to revolutionize data storage for large-scale, long-term archival storage.

With continued research and innovation, the advancements in nucleic acid science and technology have the potential to bring about even more significant benefits for society, including improved disease diagnosis and treatment and new avenues for scientific discovery and innovation.
