Give your students a hands-on exploration of the next generation in genetic engineering! We are thrilled to be able to offer an affordable version of the 3D-printed Cas9 component of the CRISPR gene editing technology.

Jennifer Doudna, PhD, Professor at UC-Berkeley and Executive Director of the Innovative Genomics Initiative (IGI), is one of the pioneers of the CRISPR/Cas9 technique, which allows researchers to make specific changes to the genetic code of cells and organisms. 3D Molecular Designs designed and built the model for Dr. Doudna with Jacob Corn, PhD, Scientific Director of the IGI. The front segment detaches from the model, allowing students a closer look at the guide RNA and two strands of DNA inside. The DNA and RNA can be removed from the 11'' model.

The 5'' CRISPR model 3D printed in plaster should be handled with care. It will break if dropped, held tightly or handled roughly. The 5'' and 11'' nylon models are more resilient but will break if held tightly or handled roughly. They are based on a custom PDB file.

Nylon models are more resilient than plaster models but can break if abused. They are based on a custom PDB file.

3D Molecular Designs and the Milwaukee School of Engineering Center for BioMolecular Modeling continually develop and update lesson plans and other resources for our educational products. Teacher notes, student handouts and other supporting documents vary based on the applications and activities of the kit or model. We appreciate your feedback and encourage you to submit your own lessons, assessments and videos.
