Stanford Medicine researchers have developed an artificial intelligence tool to help scientists better plan gene-editing ...

The 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for the development of CRISPR/Cas9, a method also known as "gene scissors," which enables researchers to better understand how human cells function and ...

Northwestern scientists have developed a new nanostructure that supercharges CRISPR’s ability to safely and efficiently enter cells, potentially unlocking its full power to treat genetic diseases. By ...

NSF CAREER award recipient Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, an assistant professor of bioengineering in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, leads research at the ...

Researchers engineered and screened dozens of base editors to precisely target a single mutation without editing other portions of the DNA.

The first trial to show that vaccination could confer HIV protection was the RV144 HIV vaccine trial. This trial reported an efficacy of 31%. A key element of the RV144 trial was gp120, generated in ...

Many foundational research technologies have transformed cellular therapies, moving treatments from concept to clinic. In the past decade, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) and genome editing are two ...

The microbes that make up an organism’s microbiome have a range of effects on its health. Scientists use CRISPR systems to genetically manipulate specific bacterial species, for instance those found ...

A study using CRISPR restored brain connectivity and made the brain more resilient to seizures, which are often seen in a ...
