We’re proud to announce our partnership with ChristianaCare! The Gene Editing Institute, a wholly owned subsidiary of ChristianaCare, is a worldwide leader in CRISPR gene editing technology and the only institute of its kind based within a community health care system. The Gene Editing Institute takes a patient-first approach in all its research to improve the lives of people with cancer and inherited diseases. Educators at the Gene Editing Institute aim to inspire and prepare the next generation of scientists through novel experiments tailored to students and teachers.

Together, Carolina and the Gene Editing Institute create and provide authentic lab experiences for students to discover and learn about CRISPR gene editing with the shared goals of empowering, inspiring, and engaging the next generation of scientists. We accomplish this by making available innovative educational kits with curriculum and support that make it easy for teachers and students to learn and perform CRISPR reactions. Additionally, the Learning Lab at the Gene Editing Institute provides hands-on, in-person training to teachers and students at their facility in Delaware and at schools throughout the northeastern United States.

More about CRISPR

"
"They do a really good job of showing every step of the process and explaining the science of it, so even when you're training the technical skills, you don't lose any of the lesson."
~Destiny Hale, high school senior at Salem Academy
"
“You get a better understanding of what scientists nowadays are doing, so it's nice to do that in the class and see what the future has in store for my generation.”
~Gustavo Currea, high school junior at St. Georges Technical High School
"
"By far, the lab and topic that I enjoyed the most was CRISPR. The lab was quite stressful, but the concept, how it was discovered, and how it works, is just absolutely fascinating. I loved reading articles and watching videos about it and being able to understand it enough to explain the idea to other people. ..."
~- Melanie Mundell, Newark Charter School teacher
