I am doing an EPQ about CRIPR- advantages,disadvantages, applications of it...
I am aiming for an A*
Please provide any advice/tips
Hey, love CRISPR! A few people from my school did projects on it and got A*s. I had a whole section on CRISPR in my final essay and loved researching its potential uses (kinda wished I could do 2 EPQs just to do one on CRISPR). Ethics = a big thing and perhaps exploring its origins will be important. Applications for cancer cell research, xenotransplantation, genetic disease treatment = good to look at. Be sure to explain the mechanism in detail + how they will repair the strands (there are multiple ways) after the cut. There will also be limits to its use for eg: off-target mutations.
Some tips:
•
Look for the most relevant of research
•
College lectures, books, scientific journal publications, + YT vids will be some of the resources you can refer to
•
Ngl, exaggerate your work. People deem science EPQs really complex and so explain that understanding scientific research is very much a work in progress for you but through the EPQ you have grown so much (very true but take credit where its due).
•
Keep all your resources in order and do references early on.
•
Remember to CRAAP test resources
•
Write as detailed descriptions of your work as possible in your production log. Extra points if you can show good organization skills
Hope this helps!

heyy,, i agree with what the comment said bellow said but im in yr 13 and i did my epq on CRISPR but target it more towards if CRISPR was a viable treatment for Beta thalassemia. I did this because CRISPR is a broad topic already and having a specific disorder may make your research more specific and indepth
Hope this helps x
