Luke Gilbert is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Urology, Cellular and Molecular Pharmacology, the Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Innovative Genomics Institute at UCSF. He was an early pioneer in repurposed CRISPR systems that are used to turn genes on (CRISPRa) and off (CRISPRi) by editing the epigenome. His lab uses innovative new CRISPR technologies to systematically edit the epigenome and transcriptome. He continues to pioneer new CRISPR functional genomics platforms for genome scale screens and genetic interaction mapping applied to high impact problems in biology.
