Genetic engineering of strawberries in Norway.

This year we are kicking off with a talk from Steven Zwartkruis!

Steven is a fourth year PhD student at NTNU in Trondheim. One of his PhD projects concerns the genetic modification of the woodland strawberry (Fragaria vesca). To that end, he was trained in the lab of Prof. Timo Hytönen in Helsinki, Finland. Steven will introduce his PhD project and describe his experience in vector design, gRNA design and tissue culture. He will also suggest future improvements and invites you to a plenary discussion about the challenges and opportunities of genetic modification of strawberries in Norway.

Please join us for this talk and discussion on Friday 16th of January at 13:00! (Meeting link:Join the meeting now )
