Join LatinX@Broad for the latest installment of the René Salazar Speaker Series, where we will hear from Axel Vera Sánchez, PhD, who traded stage magic for lab magic. From a childhood fascination with magic tricks to developing the first cell-permeable anti-CRISPR proteins in graduate school, Axel's journey blends chemistry, genome editing, and a little bit of showmanship. Now known as Dr. Anti-CRISPR, he's on a mission to cure a disease in his lifetime while using magic to bring science to the public. Come hear how a magician became a scientist and how he's using both crafts to make discovery come alive. 

This event will be held in-person however a Zoom option will also be made available.
