BME 564L
Genome Engineering Lab (GE, MC)
Charles A. Gersbach
Description from DukeHub
CRISPR/Cas genome engineering technology has revolutionized the study and engineering of living systems. This course is designed for students interested in learning how to design, develop, and apply the most recent and advanced CRISPR/Cas9 systems for applications in diagnostics, cell line engineering, biopharmaceutical production, and gene and cell therapy. No previous experience in genome editing is required, but it is assumed that students have an introductory knowledge of molecular biology. Prerequisites: BME 307 or MC Area Core or graduate standing.

Skills
AI-resilient: 3 of 5
- Yes: Physical, lab or field work · "lab"
- Yes: Live work with people · "therapy"
- Yes: Judgment someone is accountable for · "diagnostics"
- No: A craft you practice with your hands or body
- No: Small, in-person format
The checks lean on Microsoft Research, Working with AI (2025), which found generative AI applies least to physical work and hands-on work with people. A signal, not a promise. How the score works
