Genome editing

The genome editing behind our pipeline

  • Pioneer in Genome Editing

    Pioneered the new generation of gene-editing technology, CRISPR, and demonstrated for the first time that genome editing is possible in human and other mammalian cells.

  • 62 genes knocked out in a single cell

    Multiplex gene knockout

    62 genes in a single cell were successfully knocked out with the gene-editing tool.

  • Multiple transgene knock-ins

    Our research uses multiple transgene knock-ins to study durable in vivo expression.

  • Immune privilege

    Multiplex genome editing supports our research into immune-privileged cells and organs for transplantation.

Immune privilege platform

Research into immune-privileged cells and organs

Our immune privilege research combines genome engineering and transplantation immunology to study how cells and organs may resist rejection. We are exploring natural killer cells for immuno-oncology and cardiomyocytes, neurons and islet cells for regenerative medicine. Our xenotransplantation research studies gene-edited donor animals as a potential source of transplantable cells, tissues and organs.

Immune responses under study

  • Macrophage
  • T Cell
  • Antibody
  • NK Cell
  • B Cell
  • Inflammatory Cell

Other applications

Besides cell and organ therapies, we also apply our multiplex genome-editing technology to other applications, such as producing animals with enhanced agronomical traits or multi-disease resistance in agriculture.
