We’re harnessing CRISPR technology to unlock powerful molecular diagnostics for all, starting with COVID-19 testing. #moleculardiagnostics#covid19testing
We are pleased to share that we have entered into a new non-exclusive licensing agreement with Vertex for the use of @CRISPRTX's gene editing technology to accelerate development of Vertex’s hypoimmune cell therapies for type-1 diabetes (T1D). Read more: bit.ly/42ULcHM
Eric Olson showing 90% editing efficiency in human cardiac cells using adenine base editing.
Im going to say that again, 90% editing efficiency! Wish we could take a moment for just that. The astronomical increase in editing efficiencies is an achievement in itself. #HGESummit
Prime time! David Liu gives a breathtaking talk on the current practices of base editing. There have been over 200 patients to date that have been treated in clinical trials with therapies enabled by Crispr nucleases @davidrliu#HGESummit
Today we report in @NatureMedicine a study led by Christine & Jonathan Seidman’s lab in which we used adenine base editing in vivo to correct a common mutation that causes hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a disease that occurs in ~1 in 500 people (1/8)
Grateful to @intelliatx and @VerveTx for advancing RNA-based #CRISPR therapeutics to clinical trials - with superb results to date.
Also grateful for the opportunity to speak about expanding the impact of this approach to areas of dire unmet medical need. #healthjustice@igisci
Today at 4:00PM PT, Mammoth CEO @martintrevor_ will be presenting at the 41st Annual J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference. Trevor will discuss key milestones around our technology platform and clinical initiatives.

A life-size statue of Henrietta Lacks, the Black woman whose cancer cells were taken without her consent and were used for medical research, will be placed in a plaza previously named after the Confederate general Robert E. Lee in Roanoke, Virginia.
