In this episode, Ayesha discusses a new tool that uses CRISPR to modulate gene expression without editing DNA sequences. Dubbed “CRISPRoff,” the technology targets the epigenome to silence genes involved in diseases, with applications in cancer, AML and other conditions with a heritable component.

After several such Nobel Prize snubs for female scientists, 2020 saw the Nobel Prize in Chemistry go to a female scientist duo for the first time for their revolutionary discovery of the CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system. As a Black female scientist, her legacy is one that will continue to inspire generations of Black women to come.

This difference could be mitigated when the scientists used a gene editing technique to either reduce KDM6A protein levels in the female-derived neurons, or increase KDM6A levels in neurons from males. Increasing KDM6A expression in male mice led them to be more resilient to the effects of amyloid beta plaques. KDM6A Variant.

The pandemic propelled the life science and healthcare sectors onto center stage, and they rose to the occasion against the most unprecedented health challenge in recent times. While COVID-19 has undoubtedly been the biggest story in the life science industry in 2020, it was a busy and positive year in many other areas.
