Thanks to CRISPR, our medical specialists will soon have unprecedented control over how they treat and prevent some of our most challenging genetic disorders and diseases. CRISPR (Clustered Regularly ...

Many foundational research technologies have transformed cellular therapies, moving treatments from concept to clinic. In the past decade, chimeric antigen receptors (CAR) and genome editing are two ...

NSF CAREER award recipient Tomas Gonzalez-Fernandez, an assistant professor of bioengineering in Lehigh University’s P.C. Rossin College of Engineering and Applied Science, leads research at the ...

In 2025, CRISPR advanced gene editing with safe, effective therapies and AI tools, marking a shift towards real-world ...

The microbes that make up an organism’s microbiome have a range of effects on its health. Scientists use CRISPR systems to genetically manipulate specific bacterial species, for instance those found ...

Unquestionably, we will emerge from this revolutionary period with modified views of components of cells and how they operate, but only, however, to await the emergence of the next revolutionary phase ...

New genetic engineering technique CRISPR could help create both crops and animals that are more immune to environmental challenges.

The modification of the genetic makeup of cells. Genetic engineering modifies the DNA in cells to alter their behavior. In 1953, the discovery of the DNA double helix, technically deoxyribonucleic ...
