Nanoparticle Delivery of CRISPR/Cas9 for Genome Editing
The emerging clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated system (Cas) gene-editing system represents a promising tool for genome manipulation.

Despite a national policy draft being put in place by the Central government, there’s a lack of awareness on the issue of rare diseases.
India has one of the largest number of rare disease patients in the world and has recently come with a draft policy on rare diseases. A panel consisting of experts in the rare disease space from India as well as globally renowned experts from academia, industry, patient groups, among others engages in a broad discussion and take stock of the state of rare diseases as well as the one year of the formulation of the Rare Disease Policy in India.
In 2012, the founders and management decided to transform Strand into a new generation healthcare company. This bold strategic decision was motivated by the emerging impact of genomics in healthcare and the opportunity for a life sciences company with deep data science capabilities like Strand to push the envelope.
Professor Chandru and his colleagues in computer science at IISc began an interdisciplinary journey at the interface of computation and biology in the mid-90s.
The Simputer project grew out of a multi-disciplinary dialogue conducted at the National Institute of Advanced Studies by its director Prof R Narasimha, the venerated social anthropologist Prof MN Srinivas and a dynamic young IAS officer Sanjay Biswas who was the IT Secretary of Karnataka in 1998.
Automated Theorem Proving, the cornerstone of “Strong AI”, refers to the ability to create intelligent machines that can implement the formal rules of deductive inference (modus ponens and modus tollens) and derive formal inferences from a set of axioms.
As a young assistant professor at Purdue, Chandru developed a new research area for himself around the computer manipulation of planar and solid geometric objects.
Chandru’s doctoral dissertation work was in the computational complexity of combinatorial optimization.
