If programmable CRISPR protocols allow a lab to go from patient biopsy to edited pluripotent line and differentiated cells in a matter of weeks, those oversight mechanisms will need to adapt so they ...

CRISPR has the power to correct genetic mutations, but current delivery methods are either unsafe or inefficient, keeping the technology from reaching its full medical potential. With the power to ...

In the world of biopharmaceutical innovation, 2024 will be remembered as CRISPR’s breakout year. In the spring, five patients with sickle cell disease began treatment with Casgevy, the first ...

A major medical milestone took place in May 2025, when doctors at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia used CRISPR-based gene editing to treat a child with a rare genetic disorder. Unlike earlier ...

It acts as a sort of molecular fumigator to battle phages and plasmids. CRISPR-Cas9 has long been likened to a kind of genetic scissors, thanks to its ability to snip out any desired section of DNA ...

At the height of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Marvin Collins ’22, a bioengineering student, was balancing their Stanford classes from home in Alabama while also helping bioengineering professor ...
