About

The mission of the Genome Editing Nucleus at the Wisconsin Institute for Discovery is to nurture cross-disciplinary discussions with faculty from across the UW-Madison campus. By doing so, we intend to leverage their combined expertise to solve problems in the field of genome editing that involve multiple disciplines, including:

Biology

Agriculture

Medicine

Engineering

Science communication

Humanities

Social sciences

Ethics
