If a species is horrible enough, do we have the right to kill it forever? Seventy years ago, a nightmare parasite feasted on the live flesh of warm-blooded creatures in North America: the screwworm. That is, until a young scientist named Edward F. Knipling discovered a crucial screwworm weakness and hatched a sweeping project to wipe them out. Knipling's seemingly zany plan to spray screwworms out of planes all over the continent— with US taxpayer money— succeeded, becoming one of humanity's biggest environmental interventions ever. Today, screwworms have been gone so long that none of us in North America even remember them. But now, they're coming back. And they're forcing us to ask: in an era of climate change and rapid mass extinction— should we kill off a species on purpose? Special thanks to James P.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of significant events and trends shaping the industry landscape, offering insight into the dynamic interplay between scientific innovation, regulatory challenges, and strategic growth.Starting with the recent departure of Vinay Prasad from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, particularly from his role as director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER). Prasad's tenure, though brief, left an indelible mark characterized by controversy and debate over regulatory decisions. His leadership coincided with significant advancements in biologics and gene editing technologies, like CRISPR, highlighting the complexities in balancing innovation with safety standards. Under Prasad's guidance, the FDA faced challenges in navigating these rapid advancements while maintaining rigorous oversight to ensure that new therapies are both effective and safe for public use. Prasad's resignation signals potential shifts in regulatory philosophy at CBER. The biotech industry is watching closely to see how new leadership will influence ongoing and future evaluations of biologics. The change presents an opportunity to reassess how regulatory bodies can better adapt to scientific advancements while ensuring that patient safety remains paramount. The issues faced during Prasad's tenure underscore the need for transparent decision-making and open communication with stakeholders, which are vital for maintaining trust in regulatory processes.Meanwhile, Pfizer has made a strategic entry into the Chinese obesity market with the approval of a GLP-1 drug developed alongside Sciwind Biosciences. This approval represents not only a significant step for Pfizer but also underscores a broader global focus on obesity management. The efficacy of GLP-1 receptor agonists in weight regulation has opened up new market opportunities, highlighting the growing importance of metabolic health solutions in addressing public health challenges.In other news, Johnson & Johnson's Tecvayli-Darzalex combination therapy has received its third national priority recognition from the FDA for treating multiple myeloma. This recognition reflects promising Phase 3 trial results and underscores the critical role of innovative combination therapies in improving outcomes for complex hematologic malignancies. The success of such therapies illustrates how targeted approaches can significantly enhance treatment efficacy and patient quality of life.Strategic acquisitions continue to reshape industry dynamics. Servier's $2.5 billion acquisition of Day One Biopharmaceuticals aims to strengthen its rare cancer portfolio, including a promising glioma drug, Ojemda. This move highlights Servier's commitment to addressing unmet needs in pediatric oncology and rare diseases, emphasizing a broader industry trend towards focusing on niche therapeutic areas with high potential impact.Regulatory activities are gaining momentum as well, with the FDA set to end a nine-month hiatus in advisory committee meetings by reviewing AstraZeneca's oral selective estrogen receptor degrader Truqa. As AstraZeneca seeks to enhance its oncology pipeline, this review signals ongoing innovation in hormone-based cancer therapies and reflects a renewed emphasis on bringing novel treatments to market efficiently.Additionally, Glenmark Pharmaceuticals has achieved a significant milestone with FDA approval for its generic version of GSK's asthma inhaler Flovent.

"Is CRISPR CAS9 being researched to help/cure tuberous sclerosis?" An exchange with Google AI mode in reference to the above query with the intention of making it clear the trajectory for those with rare diseases in terms of overriding our biological organic template and moving towards a more synthetic version. For many this will bring great relief as these rare diseases are challenging for affected and the ripple created in the realm. Instead of considering ALL the factors that have exacerbated and amplified rare diseases to the point of no return, our powers that be are forging ahead with gene therapy, at the germline. This disease is a data generator, and the affected population a perfect test template for gathering the intel needed , organ by organ to duplicate and integrate with the tech. No judgement, just sharing the conversation as I feel it's important to share these exchanges with the body of knowledge currently feeding the AI. https://youtu.be/lZKqFZWnp0c Here's a link to the queries. https://share.google/aimode/mwKaYPnKgzw54cs76Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tsc-talks--1666046/support.
In this episode of 10X Growth Strategies, host Arthi Vijayaraghavan sits down with Lakshmi Nair — drug development scientist and genetic engineering researcher — to unpack the science, promise, and responsibility behind CRISPR and gene editing. Drawing from her journey across academia and biomedical research, Lakshmi explains how CRISPR transformed genetic engineering from slow, uncertain experimentation into precise DNA editing — and why that leap could reshape medicine, cancer treatment, and hereditary disease forever. From transgenic models and drug development to the realities of scientific failure and perseverance, the conversation reveals what modern biomedical innovation truly looks like behind the scenes. The episode explores the ethical frontier of gene editing — germline modification, designer traits, disability vs identity, and who gets to decide what should be “fixed” in humans. The discussion also connects CRISPR with AI-driven research, data-intensive clinical trials, and the global scientific ecosystem that turns basic research into life-saving therapies. From biohacking and scientific curiosity to regulation, responsibility, and the future of humanity, this is a thoughtful, deeply grounded conversation on what it means to hold the power to rewrite life itself. A fascinating listen for technologists, policymakers, investors, and anyone curious about where biology, AI, and human evolution intersect. ⸻ 00:00 – Introduction & Lakshmi's Background 02:00 – Why CRISPR Changed Genetic Engineering 06:00 – Scientific Journeys, Curiosity & Upbringing 12:00 – CRISPR Explained for Non-Biologists 18:30 – Medical Applications: Cancer & Genetic Disease 23:30 – Scientific Collaboration & Peer Review 26:30 – Biohacking & Democratizing Biology 30:00 – Gene Editing Ethics & Germline Debate 36:00 – Identity, Disability & Human Choice 40:00 – From Lab Research to Drug Development 45:00 – AI in Clinical Trials & Biomedical Data 50:00 – Future of Gene Editing & Responsibility 54:00 – Closing Reflections
This interview of Alex Newman, the founder and CEO of Liberty Sentinel Media, by Ginger and Peter Breggin focuses on the newly released “million of Epstein pages” by the Trump Administration. Newman has been studying Epstein for many years, especially in light of his multiple globalist connections, including his support from America's Deep State bureaucracy. Alex Newman analyses newly released pages from the Epstein files concerning Epstein's work to further globalist ambitions for transhumanistic projects at Harvard and other universities, including using recently developed CRISPR technology to produce genetically modified human beings. We discuss the relationship between the evil psychology underpinning globalism, imperialism, and transhumanism, and how it poses a threat to all of Western civilization, including its goal to annihilate Christianity. The three of us discuss not only these mind-bending issues but also our own psychological and emotional blocks to even thinking about or writing about them, especially the existence of such horrendously evil intentions motivating many of the most powerful and influential people on Earth.
Pairwise: https://www.pairwise.com/FoA 412: 'Biological' Is Not A Category (it's the future of agriculture)I'm excited to share today's episode with you. I've wanted to get Tom Adams back on the show ever since I had the chance to interview him at World Agritech a couple of years ago. That interview was included on episode 412 of this podcast titled “Biological is not a Category”. The work Pairwise is doing is mind boggling to me. Using CRISPR and the latest in gene editing tools, they have built a platform to enable plant breeders to make very precise changes to the genome of a plant to give farmers and consumers more of what they want. Now this is different from genetic modification or GMOs because they are not inserting foreign genes into the plant. In fact, they are doing the exact same thing that plant breeders have done for over a century, they are just able to do it in an extremely precise way. On another podcast that I host, Agriscience Explained, Corteva's Reza Rasoulpour explained natural breeding as wanting to change one word in a book by just combining all of the pages of two different books and hoping that word changes. Versus gene editing just going in and changing that one word in the book. I thought that was a good comparison. So Tom and his team are bringing this technology to agriculture by working with seed companies and other partners in a variety of use cases, many of which we'll discuss today. A little background on Tom: Dr. Tom Adams co-founded Pairwise and serves as Chief Executive Officer. Tom has over 25 years of leadership experience heading up biotechnology for global companies, serving most recently as Vice President of Global Biotechnology at Monsanto where he led the team developing a broad range of innovative products. Tom wanted to realize the possibilities of CRISPR and gene editing in plants, and co-founded Pairwise to realize this potential in a mission-based environment. Formerly a faculty member at Texas A&M University, Tom holds a PhD in microbiology and plant science from Michigan State University and a BS in botany and plant pathology from Oregon State University. Tom and I talk about Pairwise's continued work in this area, some of the cool developments that are under way, some of their strategic decisions like going the partnership route rather than being the seed company themselves, a little bit more about how the technology works, how this changes the game and who captures the value.

Audra Lynn Fasano joins Tony to share her firsthand experience of being drawn into Jeffrey Epstein's network, beginning with her time at the Playboy Mansion and escalating into blackmail, intelligence ties, and operating as a middleman between elites. She recounts how threats against her family forced her deeper into the web, and why she believes Epstein was only one cog in a much larger machine. The conversation moves beyond trafficking into increasingly dark territory, ritual abuse, bloodline targeting, CRISPR technology, transhumanism, and what Audra sees as a modern Babylonian control system still unfolding today. She connects ancient sites, Nephilim lore, and elite funding networks to current technological initiatives, arguing that the end goal reaches far beyond exploitation. Through it all, Audra emphasizes spiritual warfare, deliverance, and returning to Christ as the only true protection in an escalating battle. This is a sobering discussion about power, deception, and why discernment may be more critical now than ever.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Ryan Clarke, Co-Founder, CEO, and CTO of Syntax Bio, is focused on solving manufacturing challenges in producing stem cell-derived therapies, specifically the process of stem cell differentiation. The Cellgorithm platform was designed to make differentiation an engineering problem by using a modified form of CRISPR to turn genes on and off in a specific, controlled sequence, reducing processing time from months to days and resulting in cost savings. One goal is to use AI and machine learning to build models capable of predicting optimal gene regulation sequences accelerating the discovery of new differentiation protocols and treatments for degenerative diseases. Ryan explains, "The key problem that we are focused on applies to stem cell-derived cell therapies. And so, just for a little bit of context setting, we use induced pluripotent stem cells or IPS cells.

Ryan Clarke, Co-Founder, CEO, and CTO of Syntax Bio, is focused on solving manufacturing challenges in producing stem cell-derived therapies, specifically the process of stem cell differentiation. The Cellgorithm platform was designed to make differentiation an engineering problem by using a modified form of CRISPR to turn genes on and off in a specific, controlled sequence, reducing processing time from months to days and resulting in cost savings. One goal is to use AI and machine learning to build models capable of predicting optimal gene regulation sequences accelerating the discovery of new differentiation protocols and treatments for degenerative diseases. Ryan explains, "The key problem that we are focused on applies to stem cell-derived cell therapies. And so, just for a little bit of context setting, we use induced pluripotent stem cells or IPS cells. And about 20 years ago, when these were first derived, everybody was very excited because this is the platform where you could then have an infinite supply of stem cells to then make any tissue-specific cell type at will, theoretically.

Biotechnology is advancing faster than ever before, and the stakes have never been higher. In this episode, Dr. Christopher Cummings, lead for the Center for Health Engineering with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, breaks down why the convergence of biotech and artificial intelligence is creating both unprecedented opportunities and existential risks. From gene-edited foods that could revolutionize agriculture to AI-designed viruses that could destabilize nations, Dr. Cummings explores the delicate balance between innovation and oversight. He reveals why traditional regulatory frameworks are struggling to keep pace and how "information hazards" are forcing scientists to rethink transparency itself. We dive into the ethical minefield of black-boxed AI systems, designing biological solutions, the growing trust gap between lab and consumer, and what it means when AI can "de-skill" biotechnology to the point where expertise is no longer required to create dangerous organisms. Topics covered: CRISPR and gene editing, AI convergence, biosafety and bioweapons, public trust in GMOs, generational attitudes toward biotech, risk communication, international cooperation, and the future of governance in an accelerating technological landscape.

Contributor: Alec Coston, MD Educational Pearls: Disclaimer: this has nothing to do with the ER but is too cool to not talk about. Condition: Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) deficiency Rare inborn error of metabolism Inability to properly break down ammonia Leads to severe hyperammonemia and hepatic encephalopathy Natural history: Without treatment, typically fatal within the first few weeks of life Even with current standard treatments, life expectancy is often limited to ~5–6 years Breakthrough treatment: A team of researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania developed the CRISPR-based targeted gene therapy for this patient. First-of-its-kind precision approach tailored to the patient's specific mutation Key components of the therapy: Whole-genome sequencing to identify the exact CPS1 mutation Creation of a custom base-editing enzyme designed to correct that specific mutation Design of a guide RNA to direct the base editor to the precise genomic location Delivery method: Lipid nanoparticles used to deliver the gene-editing machinery Nanoparticles can be targeted to specific tissues Why the liver works well: CPS1 is primarily expressed in hepatocytes The liver is relatively easy to target with lipid nanoparticles Hepatocytes divide frequently, allowing edited genes to be passed on as cells replicate Long-term impact: Once edited, cells continue producing functional CPS1 enzyme Potential for durable, possibly lifelong correction from a single treatment References https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/infant-rare-incurable-disease-first-successfully-receive-personalized-gene-therapy-treatment Choi Y, Oh A, Lee Y, Kim GH, Choi JH, Yoo HW, Lee BH.

On this episode of Purple Political Breakdown, host Radell Lewis dives deep into the newly released Epstein files, breaking down the 3.5 million pages of DOJ documents and what they reveal about Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Prince Andrew, and other high-profile names. Who's being protected by the redactions, and why are victims being exposed while powerful men stay hidden? Then Radell tackles the gas prices myth head-on with a full research segment on how gas prices actually work from crude oil and OPEC production decisions to refinery closures and global supply and demand and why no U.S. president, Republican or Democrat, controls what you pay at the pump. Plus: Operation Metro Surge and the ICE crackdown in Minnesota, the FBI's raid on Fulton County's election office with Tulsi Gabbard on speakerphone with Trump, the massive Democratic special election upset in Texas, Trump's cratering approval ratings, how Twitter's algorithm is skewing political reality, the measles outbreak under RFK, and the 2026 midterms outlook. The show wraps with ten good news stories the media won't tell you about, from CRISPR gene therapy breakthroughs to malaria vaccine success in Ghana. Political solutions without political bias.

Episode 344 Elon Musk has announced he wants to merge SpaceX with another of his companies, xAI, and launch one million satellites into space. One reason - according to Musk - is to eventually harness the entire power of the sun, a sci-fi sounding idea that would make us a Kardashev Type II civilisation. But he also wants the satellites to help power AI and move data centres off Earth. Is his goal realistic… and what would be the consequences? Parents desperate to get their children to sleep are resorting to melatonin gummies - and it's proving very effective. Melatonin is a sleep hormone which is only available on prescription in many countries. So some parents are importing them from America - where they can be bought over-the-counter. The trouble is the long-term side effects are not really known - and cases of melatonin overdose in children are on the rise. Despite global agreement to cut the "overall risk" from pesticides by at least half by 2030 - new data shows we're not even close. Countries made this commitment at a UN biodiversity meeting in 2022, but so far it's been almost impossible to measure success. Thanks to a researcher in Germany, we now have a way to track our progress - and it's not looking good. Could an increase in organic farming be the solution, or CRISPR gene editing?

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein continues to captivate audiences centuries after its publication, but not all adaptations emphasize the same ethical questions. Matthew and returning guest AK dive into both the original novel and Guillermo del Toro's recent film adaptation—not to catalog their differences, but to explore how each medium handles the story's core moral dilemmas and which approach proves more compelling.How Does the Film Emphasize “The Other” Differently?While both the book and film explore themes of parentage, responsibility, and scientific hubris, they emphasize different ethical questions. AK notes that the novel places stronger emphasis on the responsibilities of individuals in medicine and parenting, particularly through the lens of abandonment. The film, however, foregrounds questions about the grotesque other, the monstrous other, and how appearance shapes moral judgment. The visual decisions in del Toro's adaptation—juxtaposing the creature against beautiful backdrops that shift with emotional moments—underscore this emphasis.How Does the Shift from Abandonment to Abuse Change Victor's Responsibility?One of the most striking differences between the book and film lies in Victor Frankenstein's initial interaction with his creation. In Shelley's novel, Victor creates the monster, goes to bed, wakes up, and immediately flees—abandoning the creature with almost no interaction. Del Toro's film takes a dramatically different approach: Victor spends considerable time with the creature, engaging with it in ways impossible in the book. This changes the fundamental ethical question. Does Victor bear responsibility for abandonment and neglect, or for intentional, directed abuse? The film's choice to show an extended period of interaction—where Victor treats the creature as an object rather than a being—shifts the moral weight of his culpability.Why Does the Composite Body Matter More Now Than Ever?Victor's method of selecting “optimal” body parts from different corpses to create his creature resonates uncomfortably with contemporary debates about human enhancement and biotechnology. The discussion explores how Victor's approach—viewing the creature as an optimization project rather than a living being—connects to modern questions about CRISPR, genetic modification, and who decides what constitutes an “optimal” human body. These questions inevitably involve ableism and the commodification of bodies. The film's emphasis on Victor literally selecting bodies at prisons raises urgent parallels to current concerns: Who becomes test subjects for experimental procedures like Neuralink? Are they being viewed as humans or as subjects for experimentation?Other Topics Covered:Why the novel's nested narrative structure (stories within stories) creates a unique moral complexityHow both works explore humanity's relationship to nature, science, and the line between achievement and hubrisThe challenge of adapting works from different historical contexts when what counted as scientific hubris has radically changedThe concept of viewing people as player characters (with their own interiority) versus non-player characters (existing only to advance your plot)Why Frankenstein's relevance grows as biotechnology makes questions of life preservation more immediateThe conversation reveals how both Shelley's novel and del Toro's film use the Frankenstein story to explore timeless questions through different emphases—one focusing on neglect and parental failure, the other on abuse and the othering of those who don't meet conventional standards of beauty or normalcy. **************************************************************************This episode is a production of Superhero Ethics, a The Ethical Panda Podcast and part of the TruStory FM Entertainment Podcast Network.

Avancerad genteknik används för att ta fram grisar som står emot klassisk svinpest genom att slå ut proteiner som viruset är beroende av. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Klassisk svinpest är en virussjukdom som historiskt lett till masslakt, hårda avspärrningar och stora ekonomiska förluster. Med avancerad genteknik tas nu steg mot djur som inte längre kan infekteras av viruset. Arbetet bygger på att slå ut ett protein som viruset är beroende av för att föröka sig i grisens celler. När proteinet inte längre bildas stoppas smittan innan sjukdomen bryter ut.Forskare i Storbritannien och Kina har oberoende av varandra tagit fram grisar som visat tydlig motståndskraft mot klassisk svinpest, och resultaten imponerar erfarna veterinärmedicinare. Tekniken bygger på gensaxen CRISPR, där en exakt genförändring görs utan att påverka djurens tillväxt, reproduktion eller köttkvalitet enligt de uppföljningar som hittills gjorts.Samtidigt är hotet från svinpest större än på länge. Den afrikanska varianten, svårare och mer komplex, har nått både svenska vildsvin och flera europeiska länder. Forskare bedömer att den också är svårare att komma åt med genredigering och kräver flera genförändringar innan resistenta djur är möjliga.Genredigeringens framsteg öppnar ändå för ett framtida jordbruk där sjukdomar som idag orsakar enorma kostnader kan begränsas direkt i djurens arvsmassa. Frågan är hur snabbt tekniken kan nå marknaden – och om den kan förändra hur avel, smittskydd och livsmedelsproduktion ser ut i grunden.Reporter: Gustaf Klaringustaf.klarin@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se

From there, the discussion widens into a deeper examination of psychological warfare, biological and nervous-system–level control, and narrative management, using the Kirk case as one example of how power, perception, and compliance are shaped in real time through both media and physical influence.In this episode:
Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 1-01-2025: An emailer asks about omega-3 supplementation for memory at age 72. Dr. Dawn advises checking that fish oil capsules contain adequate DHA—at least 1,000 mg—since many omega-3 products have low DHA levels. She notes Medicare covers the same testing at standard labs as proprietary labs like OmegaQuant that charge patients directly. Beyond omega-3s, she emphasizes glucose control (hemoglobin A1c below 5.6) since the enzyme that breaks down insulin also clears beta-amyloid, and weight training to raise brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which promotes new synapse formation essential for memory. Dr. Dawn reviews Popular Science's top 2025 health innovation: eye drops from Lens Therapeutics containing aceclidine that correct age-related farsightedness for 10 hours. The drops shrink the pupil to increase depth of field, improving near vision by three or more lines on eye charts within 30 minutes without affecting distance vision. Side effects include eye irritation, dimmed night vision, and headache. She describes Duke University's breakthrough allowing heart transplants from circulatory death donors using an on-table reanimation technique. This could expand the pediatric donor pool by 20%—critical since up to 20% of children die waiting for transplants. Dr. Dawn celebrates CAR-T immunotherapy for multiple myeloma, which saved her husband's life. Of 97 heavily pretreated patients, 38% achieved complete remission still present at five years, with over 50% total survival. The therapy removes T-cells, uses CRISPR to add receptors targeting cancer cell antigens, then reinfuses the modified cells. She highlights a UC Davis study showing remote blood pressure monitoring with home technology, education, and coaching dropped patients' average blood pressure from 150/80 to 125/74 in months—low-tech with high impact. Dr. Dawn explains the Nano Knife for prostate cancer, which uses localized electrical pulses delivered through thin wires to destroy tumors while sparing surrounding nerves. This minimally invasive approach could reduce erectile dysfunction and incontinence common with traditional surgery. She describes Gilead's Sunlenca, a twice-yearly injection for HIV prevention that's 99% effective. At $14,000 per injection in the US, proceeds help fund access in resource-limited countries where it can be distributed like a vaccination. Dr. Dawn discusses Journavx (suzetrigine), a new non-opioid pain medication working on sodium channels to block pain signals before reaching the brain. At $30 for 50 pills on GoodRx, it offers an alternative for surgical pain in patients with addiction history or genetic vulnerability to opioid dependence. She details the landmark case of Baby KJ, the first person to receive personalized CRISPR gene therapy. Born with a CPS1 enzyme deficiency causing toxic ammonia buildup, KJ was too small for liver transplant. Scientists identified his specific mutation and used CRISPR base editing delivered via lipid nanoparticles to correct a single DNA letter—changing an A to G—in his liver cells which restored enough function to be discharged home. Dr. Dawn reports surprising findings that COVID mRNA vaccines amplify cancer immunotherapy. Lung cancer patients who received COVID vaccination within 100 days of checkpoint inhibitor treatment had 56% three-year survival versus 31% for unvaccinated patients. The mechanism is unknown but may involve mRNA generally alerting the immune system. She revisits research showing Zostavax shingles vaccination reduced dementia risk by 20% over seven years. A natural experiment in Wales—where an age cutoff created comparable vaccinated and unvaccinated groups—provided strong evidence that preventing herpes zoster inflammation protects brain health. Dr. Dawn concludes with Huntington's disease breakthrough: microRNA therapy delivered by virus directly into the brain slowed disease progression by 75% over three years. The microRNA binds to Huntington protein mRNA, preventing ribosome translation and toxic protein production. Some patients returned to work; others expected to need wheelchairs are still walking.
At 3 months old, Victoria Gray wouldn't stop crying. Blood tests brought devastating news: she had sickle cell disease, a genetic blood disorder that blocks blood flow and oxygen delivery to the body. It causes unbearable pain that Victoria describes as “getting struck by lightning and hit by a truck.”As she got older, Victoria felt increasingly isolated and hopeless. She often spent her kids' birthdays at the hospital, where she received regular blood transfusions. “I felt like I was cheating my children out of their childhood,” she says. “I didn't look forward to a long life. I stopped dreaming. I gave up on school or doing anything … I thought that I was close to dying.”But at age 34, Victoria got a new chance at life. In 2019, she became the first person in the world to receive a revolutionary new treatment for the disease — a gene-editing tool called CRISPR discovered in a UC Berkeley lab, which would go on to win a Nobel Prize just one year later. “It felt like an answered prayer for me,” says Victoria. “CRISPR not only freed me, it freed my children.” This is the third episode of our latest Berkeley Voices season, featuring UC Berkeley scholars working on life-changing research — and the people whose lives are changed by it.Listen to the episode and read the transcript on UC Berkeley News (news.berkeley.edu/podcasts/berkeley-voices).Music by Blue Dot Sessions.Photo courtesy of Victoria Gray; illustration by Neil Freese/UC Berkeley.
