Hannah Karp is a PhD student working for Professor Jennifer Doudna, a co-discoverer of CRISPR-cas systems. CRISPR-cas systems are able to make precise changes to the DNA of bacteria, animals and plants. My research aims to deliver CRISPR-cas into specific tissues/cells in the human body to better treat human genetic diseases.
Academic researchers all over the US have utilized their expertise to open COVID-19 diagnostic labs to combat this pandemic. In Berkeley, the Innovative Genomics Institute converted its laboratory equipment into a major COVID-19 testing facility within a few weeks of the US outbreak. This COVID-19 testing facility is run entirely by scientist volunteers and is crucial to gather epidemiological data and enable companies to re-open. As a volunteer scientist I have been helping to assembly testing kits which allow for this facility to test ~2,000 people a day (at capacity).

See Bio
I've been doing startups since long before they were cool. My passions include startups, data science, and coffee.
My latest venture, Board++ breaks glass ceilings, diversifies startup boards, and develops our next generation of leaders by placing corporate executives from underrepresented groups on startup boards. I founded the Startup Grind Princeton chapter in 2014 and live in downtown Princeton.
