CRISPR/Cas9 and Tumor-Specific Guide RNAs as a Specific and Selective Cancer Cell Killing Biologic Platform

Value Proposition:Specific targeting of mutations can treat any cancer with the specified mutations.Selective cell killing spares healthy tissue while eliminating cancer cells. Pan-cancer efficacy as guide RNAs are developed to target a wide breadth of cancer-specific mutations.Lack of protospacer adjacent motif (PAM) sites in healthy host cells prevents...
