Welcome to my personal website. While this website is primarily my online CV, I will also post blog entries on different topics like science, technology, and art.

About

With two decades of experience in molecular plant biology, I specialize in the development of transgenic and gene-editing technologies. At Inari Agriculture, Inc., I apply these tools to solve critical agricultural challenges.

A key part of my work is ensuring the safety and accuracy of genome engineering. To support this, I maintain crispr-plantv2.bastianminkenberg.com, a specialized platform for evaluating CRISPR off-target activity in plants. I am passionate about bridging the gap between theoretical research and practical application, ensuring that the tools we use are as precise as they are powerful.

Outside of the lab, I trade the microscope for a camera lens; I am an avid photographer who enjoys capturing the world with the same attention to detail I bring to my research

CRISPR-PLANT v2 is now available as an updated version

I recently found time to update and redesign the CRISPR-PLANT v2 website. Most notably, it features a more modern design and I added the functionality of downloading your results as CSV file. CRISPR-PLANT v2 is a platform to help researchers design and construct specific gRNAs for CRISPR-Cas9-mediated genome editing in plants. It offers pre-analyzed gRNA …
