This 4-day hands-on training course introduces the principles and laboratory workflow of CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, from gRNA design to data analysis. Participants will explore target selection, reagent preparation, and transfection methods in a guided lab environment.
The course also includes core molecular biology techniques such as DNA extraction, PCR amplification, and gel electrophoresis. Designed for Springer Campus students, this course ensures practical experience with genome editing and strengthens interpretation and troubleshooting skills essential for research success.
The program concludes with data analysis, discussion, and a short quiz to reinforce core concepts and assess learning outcomes.

1 review for 4-Day Hands-On CRISPR-Cas9 Training Program
Felix Dorn –
I participated in a 4-day hands-on CRISPR course, which was very well organized both in terms of timing and content. Before the training, participants received materials to get familiar with the topic, which was very helpful. Each module included a theoretical introduction, followed by a hands-on demonstration and a practical session to apply what we had learned.
The instructors were very friendly, supportive, and took the time to address individual questions and challenges. It’s also great that participants can reach out to XTechAcademy even after the course for further questions or support.
The laboratory was modern and well-equipped, providing an excellent environment for learning. The building also offered a comfortable lounge area where participants could freely enjoy drinks, fruit, and even prepare something to eat in between sessions.
Overall, it was a great learning experience and an excellent opportunity to deepen practical skills in CRISPR technology.
