CRISPR therapies targeting the next breakthrough in oncology

pharmaphorum

In 2012, Jennifer Doudna and Emmanuelle Charpentier published a paper in Science where they outlined isolating the components of the CRISPR-Cas9 system and demonstrated how it could be used to cut specific sites in isolated DNA. The publication and their work eventually led to the pair being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2020.

The era of precision neuroscience

Drug Discovery World

The development of effective new disease-modifying treatments in neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders has been hindered by their inherent genetic complexity, environmental influences, and clinical variability. This is comparatively easier to accomplish in these diseases because they are relatively monogenic.
