19 – 21 August 2020

The current COVID-19 situation is challenging and difficult for all of us – we hope this virtual conference will allow colleagues to share and discuss their latest research, while under travel and stay-at-home restrictions.

The sixth Cold Spring Harbor meeting on Genome Engineering: CRISPR Frontiers is going fully virtual and will begin late morning EST on Wednesday August 19 and end late afternoon EST on Friday August 21, 2020. Oral sessions will be confined to later morning and afternoon sessions EST to maximize access by participants from around the world. An outline program will be posted following further discussion with the organizers.

The specific goal for this meeting is to foster fruitful and creative interactions between researchers interested in applying these systems to genome engineering and related advances in a wide variety of organisms, together with scientists studying the basic biology of CRISPR and related bacterial defense systems.
