In this episode of the Biotech and Breweries Podcast, Daniel Shroeder and Shannon Miller, Principal Investigator at Scripps Research, have a discussion at Bivouac Ciderworks in San Diego. Shannon shares her passion for bridging the gap between technology and diseases to make permanent cures possible. Having recently been recognized on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list, she discusses her journey from undergraduate research in synthetic organic chemistry to her graduate studies, where she applied directed evolution protein engineering techniques to gene editing tools, to her current research today with CRISPR technologies and developing cures for genetic diseases.
Quote:
“I don't think there's a very specific skill set. Yes, they have to be a scientist. Right? But I don't think they need an introductory skill set. They need to know how to do CRISPR. But, I really look for people who are interested, who are motivated, and who are excited about the research.” - Shannon Miller [19:49]
Topics discussed:
- The Intersection of Directed Evolution, CRISPR Technologies, and CRISPR Therapeutics
- CRISPR and Women in Science Leadership
- San Diego’s Growing Biotech and Pharma Ecosystem
