How Gene Editing Is Changing the Way We Treat Genetic Disorders
Via Harvard Magazine
Summary
Harvard chemist David Liu revolutionized biotechnology by developing PACE, a system that uses viruses to "fast-forward" protein evolution from years to just days.
His subsequent breakthroughs in base and prime editing have provided precise tools for correcting genetic mutations without cutting DNA, already leading to life-saving treatments for diseases like leukemia and progeria.
