Today is #WorldCancerResearchDay. This is a great time to think about how our work in #CancerResearch can help end cancer as we know it worldwide, particularly for low- and middle-income countries, where #CancerDisparities are often intensified.

Upenn's gene therapy leader Jim Wilson launched his 3rd company in 3 years this morning. His new startup, iECURE, will develop gene editing therapies for severe pediatric liver diseases, including OTC deficiency. More in my story for @cenmag cen.acs.org/pharmaceuticals/…

iECURE’s CEO tells me Wilson tried several gene editing technologies and found that tech from @PrecisionBioSci worked best for this gene insertion. iECURE licensed rights to use Precision’s tech for 4 liver diseases. Precision keeps rights for all other indications. $DTIL

Our collaborators at @uofl presented a more updated data set at ARVO this year showing that the ERG effects were durable through the latest time points at day 300, and they also saw positive morphological changes in the retina/rods 👍 Here's the release: businesswire.com/news/home/2…

Big week for Precision - putting 2+ years of allo CAR T clinical learnings to work by initiating dosing w/advanced versions of both their anti-BCMA (+nirogacestat) and anti-CD19 (+cloaking for durability). Congrats! #CART #oncology #stealthcell $DTIL
It’s been an exciting week! We’re pleased to announce the first patient dosed in our Phase 1 clinical trial with PBCAR19B, an immune-evading allogeneic CAR T stealth cell candidate for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) NHL. Read more here: investor.precisionbioscience…

Thoughtful GTx discussion with a nice mention for $DTIL by Jim Wilson (~15min). Comparing ARCUS to #CRISPR for in vivo #GeneEditing: “It simply just worked a lot better.” On demand bit.ly/3bAAqgD

Thanks @mlazaru for calling out the 4 year NHP data from Jim Wilson using @PrecisionBioSci ARCUS platform. 4 years: >90% reduction in PCSK9 and >50% reduction in LDL $DTIL Now we’re on the move to even more difficult targets, including #DMD – at Westfield, NJ
$DTIL been editing monkeys in PCSK9 for 4 years already, program with jim wilson. Arcus Editing has advantage over CRISPR.
