Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Maybe in 50 years’ time we’ll be using gene editing to lower cholesterol, but it won’t replace statins in anyone but those with life threatening mutations for a long time”. Zinc fingers.

Right on target: The shift to precision pharmaceuticals

Drug Discovery World

Artificial intelligence (AI), gene editing, synthetic biology and more, are beginning to prove their usefulness in drug design and development, taking therapies away from the one-size-fits-all approach, towards more definable targets that operate more effectively. There are myriad ways that this is being enabled.

2020 Year in Review: COVID-19, CRISPR and Immunotherapies Define the Year for the Life Sciences

XTalks

From isolating SARS-CoV-2 in early January to sequencing its genome shortly thereafter and having a prototype vaccine against it within days, scientific process and progress have held steadfast throughout the pandemic. CRISPR Gene Editing Inventors Win Nobel Prize. The illness was later named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
