About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today we're talking with Dr. Jane Smith, an expert in genetic engineering and the instructor for our Advanced Certificate in CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Editing Techniques. Dr. Smith, can you tell us a bit about your personal experiences with CRISPR-Cas9? GUEST: Absolutely, I've been working with CRISPR-Cas9 since its inception and have seen firsthand how it's revolutionized the field of genetic engineering. It's a powerful tool that allows for precise, targeted changes to DNA sequences. HOST: That's fascinating. And what current industry trends are you seeing that are relevant to this course? GUEST: The global genome editing market is projected to reach $10 billion by 2025, and there's a high demand for professionals with a deep understanding of CRISPR-Cas9 techniques. This course provides learners with hands-on experience in using CRISPR-Cas9 for genome editing, analyzing genomic data, and designing CRISPR experiments. HOST: That sounds like a great opportunity for learners. Were there any challenges you faced while creating this course or any challenges learners might face while taking it? GUEST: One challenge is that CRISPR-Cas9 is a rapidly evolving field, so it's important to stay up-to-date with the latest research and techniques. But that's also what makes it exciting! We've designed the course to be hands-on and practical, so learners can apply CRISPR-Cas9 techniques to real-world challenges in industries such as agriculture, pharmaceuticals, and biotechnology. HOST: That's great to hear. And finally, where do you see the future of CRISPR-Cas9 and genetic engineering heading? GUEST: The potential applications for CRISPR-Cas9 are vast, from treating genetic diseases to improving crop yields. As the technology continues to advance, I believe we'll see even more innovative uses for CRISPR-Cas9 in a variety of industries. HOST: Well, Dr. Smith, thank you for joining us today and giving us a glimpse into the Advanced Certificate in CRISPR-Cas9 Genome Editing Techniques. It's clear that this course will provide learners with the essential skills they need to excel in the field of genetic engineering and enhance their career prospects. GUEST: Thank you for having me! It's been a pleasure.
