Could CRISPR Cure Thousands of Diseases?

CRISPR technology is revolutionizing medicine!

In this video, Feng Zhang, Professor of Biological Engineering at MIT, explains how scientists have identified nearly 5,000 diseases caused by genetic mutations—and how CRISPR offers an exciting way to develop potential treatments. But that’s not all—this gene-editing tool is also helping researchers understand complex diseases like diabetes and neurodegeneration, bringing us closer to life-changing medical breakthroughs.
