Exa-Cel CRISPR Gene Therapy for Sickle Cell Disease Deemed Safe by FDA Advisory Panel

XTalks

CRISPR works as genetic scissors to edit parts of the genome. The companies used data from the 1,000 Genomes Project but from that, only 61 datasets made the cut to encompass the ideal patient population. “I The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system was first discovered to be endogenous in bacteria.

Unlocking disease treatment with large-scale research

pharmaphorum

The importance of health data to the life science industry is growing just as rapidly as the technology enabling its capture is advancing. A few decades ago, gathering genetic data on the scale of the 100,000 Genomes Project would have been unthinkable – it was only in 2003 that the entire human genome was mapped.

The era of precision neuroscience

Drug Discovery World

The development of effective new disease-modifying treatments in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders has been hindered by their inherent genetic complexity, environmental influences, and clinical variability. This is comparatively easier to accomplish in these diseases because they are relatively monogenic.
