@keigotakahashi6 @UTSWPedsRes Congratulations, Keigo!

[David R. Liu @davidrliu]

In a major milestone for science, for medicine, and for patients, the world’s first CRISPR drug has been approved in the UK.
“A new treatment for sickle-cell disease and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia has been authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for patients aged 12 and over after a rigorous assessment of its safety, quality and effectiveness.”
Congratulations to the many scientists, doctors, patients, and industry leaders who made this development possible.🍻

So excited to present our recent work at @WORLDSymposia in February 2024!!

[Wang-LysoLab @WangLysolab]

It’s a platform presentation sweep for the @WangLysolab!

Seven submitted abstracts, seven platform presentations at the 2024 @WORLDSymposia !

San Diego here we come!

Base editing corrects the common Salla disease SLC17A5 c.115C>T variant #MTNA https://t.co/dD59wjCBjt

[Wang-LysoLab @WangLysolab]

Congrats to Jerry Harb, who persevered through the project (his 1st with our lab) and paper writing (our lab’s 1st/not last #CRISPR therapy paper)!

Team effort from all including @CLChristensen23, Alli, and Perla (OTEs), @kansh0524 (sequencing), and @GreenwoodGenCtr (FSA)

Gene editing landscape

I pulled together 42 public & private companies and charted the preclinical & clinical assets of each, segmented by approach & editor

Some takeaways:
