Summary

Want to engineer your genes? Did you ever know that doctors can cure diseases by replacing “bad” genes with “good” genes?

In genetic engineering, researchers try to supply copies of healthy genes to cells with changed or missing genes so that the healthy genes will take over. Plasmids are used as vehicles to carry these healthy genes into the targeted cells of living beings.

Come to TRI and meet Professor Jyotsna and other scientists to learn about genes and how “bad” genes cause diseases in you. Next, you will get hands-on experience in changing/replacing one’s bad genes with healthy genes and insert them in to cells, to build resistance and fight deadly diseases.
