On 29 July 2024, Erika Wimmer will defend her PhD thesis titled:
„Functional complexity and Applications of CRISPR-Cas Systems in the Archaeon Saccharolobus solfataricus"
In her research Erika focused on repurposing an endogenous type I-A CRISPR-Cas system of the thermoacidophilic archaeon Sa. solfataricus for genome editing and investigating the potential involvement of co-occurring RNA-targeting Type III CRISPR-Cas systems in cellular processes beyond antiviral immunity in the respective knockout mutants.
