Gene editing with mRNA nanoparticles
Description of the granted funding
Inherited diseases are caused by errors in genes. These alterations can be corrected with CRISPR-Cas9 "gene scissors". The project studies the use of lipid nanoparticles as vehicles in correcting the DNA errors causing inherited diseases. The studies are performed both in cultured patient stem cells and in disease animal models.
