🚨PSA: CRISPR is not just a molecular scissor. ✂️

It’s more like Eevee 🥚— a flexible little powerhouse that can evolve into all sorts of molecular creatures when paired with the right “stone” (aka a clever protein fusion).

Check out our CRISPR Eeveelution lineup.

Do you know the difference between autologous and allogeneic CAR-T cells? CRISPR can be used to make allogeneic, off-the-shelf CAR-Ts that can help cancer patients worldwide receive quick and effective treatment. A life-saver! #car-t #cart #crispr #molecularmedicine #cancertreatments

@sniprbiome.bsky.social has officially dosed the first human patient in a clinical trial using CRISPR-armed bacteriophages to kill off antibiotic-resistant E. coli bacteria in patients with blood cancer. Read their full press release here: lnkd.in/ehwSKyB9

💥 A long time ago in a petri dish far, far away…
Bacteria developed CRISPR to fight against phages. But now scientists have flipped the script harder than Anakin at a Jedi council meeting.

Phages are back! And this time they're the ones wielding CRISPR to kill off antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

🧬🔥 CRISPR‘s Evolution Continues… 🔥🧬
Over the years, the CRISPR Pokédex has kept expanding with new technological evolutions and crazy new Cas variants with different tricks.

🔍 At WeDoCRISPR, we scour every corner of the CRISPR world to find that elusive shiny Gyarados and tell you all about it!

YouTube video by WeDoCRISPR Personalized CRISPR just saved a baby's life

We’re sure you saw the big news last week — personalized CRISPR just saved a baby’s life.

But how did the scientists do it?

In our latest CRISPR180", Antonio Carusillo and Manel Llado break down this amazing research for you in just 3 minutes.

Did you know that CRISPR can regulate gene expression?

CRISPR can be used to regulate gene expression, either activating or repressing the activity of target genes to study their functions. But how does CRISPR achieve that?

All the info you need is here.

Did you know that scientists can use genetic barcodes to improve the sensitivity and accuracy of CRISPR screenings?

In the handy infographic below, you can learn how genetic barcodes (iBARs) added to your sgRNAs can make your CRISPR screenings more sensitive and accurate.

How to CRISPR 101 - CRISPR screening | WeDoCRISPR Using CRISPR, scientists can treat diseases like cancer by targeting key genes that help bad cells survive and resist against drugs. But how do we know what genes to target in the first place? Identi...

Check out our latest installment of "How to CRISPR 101", where we give you a step-by-step explanation on how to do your first CRISPR knock-out screening to individually interrogate the functions of thousands of genes in cell survival and drug resistance.

Did you know that CRISPR's fascinating story started in a small lab in Spain in 1993? Francisco Mojica discovered CRISPR while studying a bacteria commonly used to produce mozzarella and yogurt.

At #CRISPRMED25, we ran the first WeDoCRISPR Flash Talk Competition, challenging scientists to explain their science to 25 local highschoolers without scientific figures, using memes, cartoons and anything they could come up with.

It was a blast! Congrats to our winner Martina Franchini!

The first day of #CRISPRMED25 was a blast!

Jimi Olaghere gave a first-hand account of having sickle cell disease and how the CRISPR treatment CASGEVY changed his life.

Then we heard the OGs of gene editing talk about how they started the field and how gene editing changed with CRISPR.

We can't wait to meet the CRISPR Medicine community in Copenhagen next week for #CRISPRMED25.

Say hi to Antonio Carusillo and Manel Llado, and don't miss the WeDoCRISPR Flash Talk Competition on Thursday evening. It's going to be a blast!

See you there!
