<p>Dr. Burmistrz is a postdoctoral researcher in Agata Krawczyk-Balska&rsquo;s lab at University of Warsaw. His&nbsp;current research focuses on studying regulatory mechanism of bacterial gene expression in <em>Listeria monocytogenes</em>. In addition to that, in his&nbsp;work he is&nbsp;developing new tools utilizing CRISPR/Cas systems. Before moving to Warsaw in 2017, he completed his&nbsp;masters (2012) and doctoral (2017) degrees in Krzysztof Pyrć&rsquo;s lab at Jagiellonian University in Cracow, where he&nbsp;was developing reporter systems of viral infections and studying biology of CRISPR/Cas systems of <em>Porphyromonas gingivalis</em>. He&nbsp;was a visiting researcher in AI Virtanen Institute for Molecular Sciences, University of Eastern Finland (2012) and in the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Southern Denmark (2018).</p>

Collection Overview

Due to their unique mode of action, CRISPR-Cas systems employ multiple sophisticated mechanisms. These include numerous interactions between various types of molecules (e.g., RNA, DNA, and proteins). Precise description of these interactions is crucial both for basic studies as well for designing practical applications for CRISPR-Cas systems of various types. Yet, it is not an easy task to adapt existing methods to achieve reliable results in this uneasy field. The aim of this collection is to gather methods developed and optimized for studying CRISPR-Cas systems at each stage of their activity: spacer acquisition, biogenesis, and interference.
