The Future of Medicine is Being Forged in Delaware
The Gene Editing Institute at ChristianaCare is a worldwide leader in CRISPR research and gene editing technology, and the only institute of its kind based within a community health care system. The institute’s ground-breaking discoveries include: the first CRISPR gene editing tool to enable DNA repairs outside the human cell – “gene editing on a chip” – which rapidly speeds therapies to patients; the revolutionary DECODR software application that is advancing CRISPR gene editing research; and the CRISPR in Box Educational ToolkitTM that brings leading-edge CRISPR technology into high school and college classrooms—helping to train the scientific workforce of tomorrow.
A leader in clinical applications of CRISPR, the Gene Editing Institute is preparing the first ever protocol for a clinical trial using CRISPR to directly target cancer cells.
