BME's Mark Draelos and a team of researchers and ophthalmologists have developed a robotic imaging tool that can automatically detect and scan a patient’s eyes for markers of different eye diseases.

Robotic Scanner Automates Diagnostic Imaging in the Eye By removing the need for highly trained technicians, the imaging tool could make it easier to diagnose eye diseases outside of specialized clinics

BME Professor Charlie Gersbach and a team of collaborators have created two new lines of transgenic mice that will allow novel, widescale investigations into how gene regulation affects health and development by using a "bladeless" version of the gene editing technology CRISPR-Cas9.

New Mice Enable CRISPR-based Epigenome Editing in Living Animals | Center for Advanced Genomic Technologies DURHAM, N.C. -- A CRISPR-Cas9 variant with deactivated DNA-cutting function – known as “dCas9” - is a powerful tool to help researchers understand what genes do when their expression is dialed up or down, but it has some limitations.
