Wolfe Lab

The Wolfe Lab focuses on developing new tools for precise targeted gene editing. Platforms include zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs), transcription activator-like nucleases (TALENs) and the CRISPR/Cas9 system, as well as engineered chimeras incorporating multiple DNA:protein interfaces.  Together, these tools are subsequently applied in zebrafish to study gene function or in human cells to develop new therapeutic modalities.
