Gene editing: beyond the hype

pharmaphorum

Genome editing is an exciting but still nascent field, and companies in the area face as many obstacles as they do opportunities. Maybe in 50 years’ time we’ll be using gene editing to lower cholesterol, but it won’t replace statins in anyone but those with life threatening mutations for a long time”. Zinc fingers.

How epilepsy researchers are moving the needle past anti-seizure treatments

Pharmaceutical Technology

This is particularly the case for pediatric forms of epilepsy where gene editing techniques like Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) are becoming more important, says Ferraro. In his work, Ferraro focuses on the links between gene variations and different responses to drugs.
