Rapid Prototyping of Gene-Editing Strategies for the Treatment of Cancer
Download our Technology CatalogOverview
Cancer is a heterogeneous set of diseases that are characterized by diverse cellular phenotypes. This heterogeneity can lead to patient populations responding differently to different therapies.
Our scientists developed a method for screening cancer therapies by rapidly prototyping gene-editing strategies using engineered protein-encoding RNA13
Rapid Prototyping of Gene-Editing Strategies for the Treatment of Cancer is protected by a pending U.S. patent (with additional patents pending in other countries).
