In this webinar, Cole Cheng and Connie Rich will discuss the advantages of novel miniaturized plasmids for streamlining preclinical and clinical gene therapy development.
Even as CRISPR-based tools become a lab staple, scientists strive to tackle the associated technological challenges to improve their efficacy and safety.
As a trailblazer in rare disease research and treatment, Wendy Chung captures the big picture of rare disease genetics with the help of next generation sequencing.
In this webinar, Douglas Marchuk and Viviana Gradinaru will discuss how scientists can overcome physiological barriers preventing gene therapies from reaching the brain.

With the help of directed evolution, scientists inch closer to developing viral vectors that can cross the human blood-brain barrier to deliver gene therapy.
A risk-benefit analysis of gene editing tools in stem cells revealed that base and prime editing carry vulnerabilities similar to those of CRISPR-Cas9, but at a reduced rate.
Scientists removed unnecessary sections of the Cas13 enzyme, creating a mini-enzyme that works and fits with other CRISPR elements into a single gene therapy vector.
