Geneticist Dr Charles Steward has spent his career studying the human genome – but his work became much more personal when his children were diagnosed with severe neurological diseases. Charlie told pharmaphorum how his search for a genetic cause has led him to straddle the divide between scientist and patient advocate.

With only <10% of the affected people having treatment for their rare condition, the question remains – what impedes the process of developing a treatment for such diseases? The domain is marred with poorly-developed study endpoints and insufficient patient data. The brighter side – innovations in rare disease .

The potential of CRISPR technology has been a hot topic in the industry ever since it was first developed, but as trials progress further into the clinic, what therapeutic areas could be set to benefit? Cancer is a genetic disease, caused by certain changes in the way that genes control cell function, such as how they grow and divide.

The Human Genome Project could not have succeeded without the use of bioinformatics. Since the conclusion of the project in 2003, bioinformatics tools have been used to identify genes and elucidate their function with the aim of developing gene-based strategies for disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment.

CRISPR works as genetic scissors to edit parts of the genome. The scientists on the advisory committee were particularly focused on the CRISPR gene editing technology itself and how companies like Vertex that are developing CRISPR-based therapies are ensuring their treatments are not making off-target gene edits.

Ben Hargreaves examines why a research project in the UK could provide key insights to develop treatments against many of the most prominent diseases impacting society. There are also hopes that clues could be found as to what risk factors are involved in the development of the most difficult to understand diseases.
