Abstract:
Derived from and inspired by the adaptive immune system of bacteria, CRISPR has gone from basic biology knowledge to a revolutionizing biotechnological tool, applicable in many research areas such as medicine, industry and agriculture. The full mechanism of CRISPR-Cas9 was first published in 2012 and various CRISPR-Cas systems have already passed the first stages of clinical trials as new gene therapies. The immense research has resulted in continuously growing knowledge of CRISPR systems and the technique seems to have the potential to greatly impact all life on our planet. Therefore, this li

Abstract:
One of the major limits of current therapies against cancer and viral infections is the nonspecific toxicity that they often cause on healthy tissues because of their impact on important cellular mechanisms shared, to different extents, between diseased and healthy cells. For this reason, there is an unmet need for more specific and more effective therapies. Wherefore, the aim of my project is the development of a novel strategy, with potential for therapy, that allows the induction of sequence-specific DNA lesions (DNA double-strand break, DSB), by the use of the CRISPR/Cas9 system targ

Abstract:
CRISPR-Cas is the state-of-the-art biological tool that allows precise and fast manipulation of the genetic information of cellular genomes. The translation of the CRISPR-Cas technology from in vitro studies into clinical applications highlighted a variety of limitations: the currently available systems are limited by their off-target activity, the availability of a Cas-specific PAM sequence next to the target and the size of the Cas protein. In particular, despite high levels of activity, the size of the CRISPR-SpCas9 editing machinery is not compatible with an all-in-one AAV delivery system

Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPRs) act to prevent viral infection and horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes. The genomic CRISPR array contains short sequences (“spacers”) that are derived from foreign genetic elements. The CRISPR array is transcribed and processed into CRISPR RNAs (crRNAs) used in the sequence-specific degradation of foreign nucleic acids. This process is called interference and is mediated by CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins.

CRISPR-Cas (<u>c</u>lustered <u>r</u>egularly <u> i</u>nterspaced <u>s</u>hort <u>p</u>alindromic <u> r</u>epeats, <u>C</u>RISPR-<u>a</u>ssociated) systems are adaptive immune pathways that use RNA-guided nucleases to direct cleavage of invading nucleic acids. The programmable nature of these enzymes has enabled a revolution for DNA-targeting applications including gene editing, transcriptional control, and genomic imaging. In ad

Abstract:
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. A significant number of mutations (~13%) alter the correct splicing of the CFTR gene, causing the transcription of aberrant transcripts resulting in the production of a non-functional CFTR channel. We focus our research on two intronic CF causing mutations, 3272-26A&gt;G and 3849+10kbC&gt;T that create a new acceptor and donor splice site, respectively, generating in the inclusion of intronic portions into the mRNA.

Les leucémies aiguës myéloïdes (LAM) constituent un groupe hétérogène d’hémopathies malignes résultant de la prolifération clonale d’un progéniteur myéloïde bloqué dans sa différenciation. De pronostic globalement défavorable, dépend de l’âge et de facteurs cytogénétiques et moléculaires. La mutation du gène FLT3 de type duplication en tandem du domaine juxta-membranaire (ITD : internal tandem duplication) est détectée dans 30% des échantillons de LAM, corrèle à une fréquence accrue de rechutes et à un pronostic défavorable. La mutation ITD conduit à une activation dérégulée et constitutive de

L’adrénoleucodystrophie liée à l’X (X-ALD) est une maladie neurodégénérative sévère caractérisée par une accumulation d’acides gras à très longue chaîne (AGTLC), conséquence d’un défaut de β-oxydation peroxysomale. La maladie est associée à l’absence de la protéine ABCD1, transporteur ABC du peroxysome qui, tout comme son homologue le plus proche, ABCD2, participe à l’import des AGTLC-CoA au sein du peroxysome, l’unique site de leur dégradation par β-oxydation.

Le mélanome uvéal représente le cancer intraoculaire le plus fréquent chez l’adulte. Malgré un traitement réussi des tumeurs primaires par chirurgie ou proton thérapie, les métastases se développent chez 50% des patients principalement au foie. Les mélanomes uvéaux métastatiques sont hautement réfractaires aux thérapies existantes. Seule l’immunothérapie par tebentafusp permet d’augmenter la survie des patients avec un mélanome uvéal métastatique, mais ce traitement est limité aux patients HLA-A*02:01 positifs. Il faut donc trouver un traitement efficace pour la majorité des patients. Au stade

Elas são consideradas pela Organização Mundial da Saúde como uma doença endêmica em muitos países, incluindo o Brasil. Assim, a busca por novas metodologias de combate e controle dessas doenças parasitárias se faz necessária. Uma das abordagens refere-se ao estudo da biologia molecular dos parasitos causadores da doença, como o estudo dos telômeros, os quais são repetições em tandem associadas a proteínas e localizadas nas extremidades dos cromossomos da maio

É um gene importante para a manutenção do mtDNA, pois regula o número de cópias e é essencial para inicialização da replicação e transcrição do mtDNA. Recentemente técnicas de edição gênica vêm sendo utilizada como uma ferramenta bastante eficaz na manipulação genômica. A nova tecnologia chamada de CRISPR/ Cas9 (Regulary interspaced clustered short palindromic repeats) utiliza um RNA guia (gRNA) curto que contém 20 nucleotídeos complementares a sequência de DNA. Qua

Abstract:
Approximately half of all adults diagnosed with acute leukemia (AL) relapse after standard chemotherapy, highlighting the need for alternative treatment options. We have previously shown that vaccination with irradiated autologous tumour cells infected with an oncolytic virus (OV) can elicit a durable, tumour specific, T cell- mediated response in a mouse model of AL. In the context of this AL infected cell vaccine (ICV) model, infection of autologous cells ex vivo with an OV is essential for stimulating a lasting immune response.

Abstract:
Forward genetic screening allows for the identification of any genes important for a particular biological process or phenotype. While the power of this approach is broadly agreed on, the efficacy of currently available tools limits the strength of conclusions drawn from these experiments. This thesis describes a method to optimize molecular tools for high-throughput screening, both for shRNA and sgRNA based reagents. Using large shRNA efficacy datasets, we first designed an algorithm predicting the potency of shRNAs based on sequence determinants. Combined with a novel shRNA backbone that fur
