All you need to know about Gene Therapy
What is Gene Therapy?
Gene therapy is the delivery of a specific gene to correct or treat a disease.
The root of gene therapy can be traced back to the early 1970s when Stanfield Roger proposed that "good DNA" could be used to replace defective DNA in people
Exploring Drug Modalities: Small Molecules, Biologics, RNA, Cell & Gene Therapy
Multiple different drug modalities are used as therapeutics for the treatment of different diseases or illnesses. In this post, we will look at the different therapeutic modalities that exist in the pharma/biotech world.
Drugs usually fall under 4 different types of modalities:
1) Small molecule
2) Biologics
3) Cell
Can Precision Fermentation together with Synthetic Biology Help to Secure Our Food Systems?
The recent geopolitical tensions and climate change have brought our food system under strain forcing governments to limit exports to protect their citizens. These issues have led to discussions around finding alternative protein sources and ensure food systems are inclusive, efficient and sustainable.
Globally, in 2020, humans consumed 574 million
An Overview of RNA Technologies
RNA technologies made headlines in 2021 when the first mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine was approved in December 2020.
However, RNA therapy is not a new technology. RNA modalities have been under development for several decades and by Jan 2020, the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) had approved a total
8 Gene Editing/CRISPR Companies to Consider For Your Portfolio
Ten years ago, Jennifer Doudna and her colleagues published the results of a test-tube experiment on bacterial genes in the journal "Science". This paper was the beginning of an adventurous journey that led to the development of CRISPR technology.
In the past decade, CRISPR has become one of
