Woman Cured of Genetic Disease by Genetic Engineering - The Power of CRISPR

In this episode, I decided to dedicate some time to discussing the brand new reports that a woman suffering from sickle cell anemia has been effectively cured of the disease that would have continued to ruin her life moving forward. The cure wasn't a drug, but the first time use of genetic engineering to cure the disease. Pretty brilliant work on all involved.
