We are inviting you to our second ““Coffee with the SBSCy” on Saturday May 8th, at 17hr Cyprus time, via Zoom. Members will receive the link by email.

The session will be conducted in English (because we have an international membership!) and the program will be:

“Welcome and introduction: CRISPR: Molecular Scissors changing ourselves and the world”

17.10: Elena Panayiotou-Worth, Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics
“CRISPR I: A New Hope & Rogue One” (15 minutes)

Please mark the day in your calendar and we are looking forward to seeing you then!
