How Are Genomics and CRISPR Transforming Cancer Therapy?
Genomics and CRISPR technology are at the forefront of transforming cancer therapy. Genomic sequencing allows for the identification of specific genetic mutations that drive cancer, enabling the development of targeted therapies. CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, offers the potential to correct these genetic defects at their source. Researchers are exploring the use of CRISPR to edit immune cells to better recognize and attack cancer cells, and even to directly target and destroy cancerous DNA within tumors.
