Julia Krüger worked at the Department of Cell Biology at the University Erlangen-Nuremberg, where she used RNA interference, along with other techniques, to elucidate signal transduction chains in unicellular eukaryotes. In January 2018, she joined Eupheria Biotech as a Senior Scientist. Her responsibilities are within the research and development of RNAi silencers and the technical support for customers working with RNAi applications.

Speaker Bio

RNA interference (RNAi) offers a fast and easy system to study gene functions. However, the traditionally used small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) can exhibit pronounced and problematic off-target effects.

In this webinar, you will discover:

  • An alternative type of siRNA—endoribonuclease-prepared siRNAs (esiRNAs).
  • How esiRNAs overcome limitations of traditional siRNAs in RNAi.
  • Real-world examples of esiRNA use, including stem cell biology, cancer, and developmental biology applied in vitro and in vivo, from single-gene studies to genome-wide screens.

RNA interference (RNAi) is a widely applied method, offering a fast and easy system to study gene functions. In this talk, we will take a look at the technology of endoribonuclease-prepared siRNAs (esiRNA) to overcome the limitations of RNAi and show the advantages over standard siRNAs.

We demonstrate how this technology is used in various research fields such as stem cell biology, cancer, and cell biology, and evolutionary and developmental biology. Demonstrated uses include both in vitro and in vivo applications, from single-gene studies to genome-wide screens.

This webinar is for anyone interested in RNAi, whether you are an academic researcher or a researcher in R&D.
