In a major milestone for science, for medicine, and for patients, the world’s first CRISPR drug has been approved in the UK.
“A new treatment for sickle-cell disease and transfusion-dependent β-thalassemia has been authorised by the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) for patients aged 12 and over after a rigorous assessment of its safety, quality and effectiveness.”
Congratulations to the many scientists, doctors, patients, and industry leaders who made this development possible.🍻

Congrats to Jerry Harb, who persevered through the project (his 1st with our lab) and paper writing (our lab’s 1st/not last #CRISPR therapy paper)!
Team effort from all including @CLChristensen23, Alli, and Perla (OTEs), @kansh0524 (sequencing), and @GreenwoodGenCtr (FSA)

Gene editing landscape
I pulled together 42 public & private companies and charted the preclinical & clinical assets of each, segmented by approach & editor
Some takeaways:

Great idea @MicheleRomanow @WomeninSciUVic
Here’s my offer. I will give you 100% of your rent up to $2000 if you help me spread the #staythefuckhome message by retweeting this, following me, and tagging someone that is #stayingthefuckhome.

“I see diversity as my superpower” - Stevie Thuy Anh Nguyen on intersectionality in STEM @CC_STEM
Fabulous morning keynote @CC_STEM 6.0 by @MicheleRomanow One of many key takeaways: a universal precursor in any field is “how often you have to fail to be successful.”
Excited to attend SFU WWEST Creating Connections 6.0 conference May 3rd & 4th @ DT Vancouver. Looking forward to participating in meaningful dialogue on diversity in STEM fields. @CC_STEM eventbrite.com/e/creating-co…
