Today, in Tent 1, was the Genomics Core of the Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research.

Together with the students, they explored the fascinating journey from cells to DNA, covering transcription and translation.

We delved into inherited traits and genetic mutations, discussing disorders like Sickle Cell Anemia, hemophilia, and Down Syndrome.

We also introduced CRISPR-Cas9, the revolutionary gene-editing tool, and its potential to correct genetic disorders.

Plus, we discussed exciting career opportunities in genomics and genetics!
