Speeding and Scaling the Development of Genome Editing Therapies
Manage episode 405083422 series 60790
Earlier this year the Innovative Genomics Institute and the life sciences tools conglomerate Danaher launched a collaborative center to develop genome-editing therapies for rare and other diseases. The Danaher-IGI Beacon for CRISPR Cures seeks to address hundreds of diseases with a unified research, development, and regulatory approach. Their goal is to create a new model for the development of genomic medicines. We spoke to Fyodor Urnov, IGI’s director of technology and translation and director of the new Beacon center, about the evolution of gene editing technology, the challenges of a platform approach, and how the organization plans to share what it learns.
