Gene Editing: CRISPR & Beyond
Gene editing allows scientists to make changes to an organism's DNA, enabling the addition, deletion, or modification of specific DNA sequences within the genome. This has numerous applications in various fields, including general life sciences, disease research, drug discovery, and applied sciences such as conservation and agriculture. CRISPR gene editing has emerged as one of the most powerful gene editing technologies and the next generation of tools is now allowing researchers to target almost any gene for modification in a highly specific and reliable way.
Collaboration key to advancing gene editing and drug discovery approaches
Amanda Hays is Scientific Officer at BioAgilitix, a contract research organization (CRO) that supports comprehensive biomedical services for all stages and modalities of drug development. Here, Hays shares how bioanalysis has evolved tremendously with the emergence of advanced gene editing technologies and explains the important role of American Association of Pharmaceutical Scientists (AAPS) in enabling the collaboration between scientists and companies across diverse scientific disciplines - highlighting the recent National Biotech Conference (NBC).
