GE Journal Club (genome engineering/gene editing) at Harvard Medical School

ABOUT GE JOURNAL CLUB

Who are we?
Researchers at HMS (Post-docs, grad students, technicians, PIs, etc).

What do we talk about?
Genome engineering/gene editing – novel methods, technical issues (e.g. off-target analysis), ethical concerns, etc.

Why are we doing this?
To stay up to date on recent techniques, stimulate critical discussions, establish contacts for collaboration

When/where?
12:30 PM – 1:30 PM Mondays, Room 354 New Research Building (see schedule) 

What’s the format?
Presenters choose what they present. 2x presentations per meeting (30min each). Usually, this is a single recent paper in the field, presented as a PowerPoint to show the figure panels. Presenters can present any topic/format they wish, such as multiple papers, reviews, general discussion, chalk talk, etc.

Do I have to read the paper?
No, but it’s recommended.

Will I have to present?
We hope you will! But this is not strictly required.

I’m scheduled to present, what do I do?
Find a paper/topic you are excited about! The topic can be related to your expertise, or not. We provide a list of suggested papers (below) but feel free to consider alternatives. *Send your paper/topic selection to the organizer by the Friday before your presentation.* When you present, 1) introduce yourself, 2) explain why you selected the paper/topic, and 3) give background on the topic. Feel free to cut out panels or entire figures if it improves the presentation. Keep your presentation aimed at a general audience - most people do not read the paper and some will not be familiar with your topic.
