CRISPR Therapeutics AG is a Swiss–American biotechnology company headquartered in Zug, Switzerland.It was one of the first companies formed to utilize the CRISPR gene editing platform to develop medicines for the treatment of various rare and common diseases.
Since late 2002, Philippe's research activities have centered around CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats). Early work was stimulated by with the aim of improving the durability of bacterial starter cultures to improve the manufacture of cheese and ice cream, [2] particularly efforts to address bacteriophages---viruses that infect bacteria.
Feng Zhang (Chinese: 张锋; pinyin: Zhāng Fēng; born October 22, 1981) is a Chinese–American biochemist.Zhang currently holds the James and Patricia Poitras Professorship in Neuroscience at the McGovern Institute for Brain Research and in the departments of Brain and Cognitive Sciences and Biological Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Francisco Juan Martínez Mojica [a] (born 5 October 1963) is a Spanish molecular biologist and microbiologist at the University of Alicante in Spain.He is known for his discovery of repetitive, functional DNA sequences in bacteria which he named CRISPR (Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats).
Cas9 (or "CRISPR-associated protein 9") is an enzyme that uses CRISPR sequences as a guide to recognize and open up specific strands of DNA that are complementary to the CRISPR sequence. Cas9 enzymes together with CRISPR sequences form the basis of a technology known as CRISPR-Cas9 that can be used to edit genes within living organisms.
Doudna was introduced to CRISPR by Jillian Banfield in 2006 who had found Doudna by way of a Google search, having typed "RNAi and UC Berkeley" into her browser, and Doudna's name came up at the top of the list. [37] [38] In 2012, Doudna and her colleagues made a new discovery that reduces the time and work needed to edit genomic DNA.
