What if a single injection could permanently lower your cholesterol — no more daily statins? Verve Therapeutics and CRISPR Therapeutics are making this a reality with gene editing for cardiovascular disease.
The story of Jennifer Doudna, from studying RNA structure to co-inventing CRISPR-Cas9 and winning the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
Three companies, three different gene editing technologies, three different investment theses. Here's how Intellia (CRISPR), Beam (base editing), and Prime Medicine (prime editing) compare as investments in 2026.
How artificial intelligence is transforming gene editing, from designing better guide RNAs to predicting protein structures and engineering novel gene editors.
Casgevy (exagamglogene autotemcel) made history as the first CRISPR-based gene therapy to receive regulatory approval — here's how it works and what it means for the future of genetic medicine.
How Feng Zhang became the first scientist to harness CRISPR for editing mammalian genomes, sparking a revolution in biomedicine.
Synthetic biology is redesigning living organisms to solve problems in medicine, agriculture, materials, and manufacturing. Here is what it is, where it is headed, and why it matters.
Casgevy was approved in December 2023 as a cure for sickle cell disease. Two years later, only ~165 patients have been treated. Here's why — and what's being done about it.
How Emmanuelle Charpentier's deep curiosity about bacterial immunity led to the CRISPR revolution and a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
An accessible guide to CAR-T cell therapy -- how scientists collect, engineer, and infuse a patient's own immune cells to fight cancer, and where the field is headed next.
How a failed orthopedic surgeon discovered that just four genes can reprogram adult cells back to an embryonic state, earning a Nobel Prize and opening new frontiers in longevity science.
How Elizabeth Blackburn discovered telomeres and telomerase, revealing the molecular clock that governs cellular aging and earning a Nobel Prize.
