Gene Editing Research Project Granted $175K
Researchers at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) have been awarded a $175,000 grant from Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy (PPMD) to make CRISPR/Cas9 as safe and effective as possible as a gene therapy tool to treat Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD).
According to the researchers, their planned CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing platform could be applicable to almost half of the people living with DMD because it deletes exons 45 to 55 of the dystrophin-producing (DMD) gene, where many of the mutations that cause the disease are found.
