🔬 CRISPR & the Fight Against Tay-Sachs 🔬
At SickKids, Dr. Ivakine and his team are using CRISPR/Cas9 to precisely target and correct the genetic mutations that cause Tay-Sachs. Their research has already led to powerful new cell and human models—crucial steps toward developing safe, effective treatments.
With your support, this work is bringing us closer to a future where CRISPR can offer real hope to families affected by rare disease💙
