Large NIH Grant Supports CRISPR-based Gene Therapy Development for Brain Diseases

Posted in biotech/medical, genetics, neuroscience

If we can prove the concept of this technology in the two diseases we’re studying, we can then apply it to hundreds or thousands of diseases of the brain.

Yes, please. Huntington disease hopefully.


The two-phase grant will support research into a novel CRISPR-based gene-editing technology and delivery platform for targeting neurogenetic diseases.
