[3][4] They developed a CRISPR based a modular transcriptional repression architecture that can be used to create functional cascaded circuits.
[7] Kiani works on safer gene therapies, including Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeat (CRISPR).
[8] When the gRNA reaches the target site it performs a double strand break, enabling gene disruption or editing.
Kiani serves as the co-producer on the project, which looks to create a deeper discussion between the public and scientists about CRISPR technologies.
In addition, together with Cody Sheehy, they are promoting a public engagement initiative called Tomorrow.Life aimed at increasing participation of broader stakeholders in decisions about future of science through collaborative visual story telling.
