With the use of gene-editing technology
Changing the function of the cell to decrease chances of illness and to save human lives
Advances in synthetic biology enable us to correct errors that cause disease using CRISPR/Cas gene editing technology
We focus in the fields of immuno-oncology with potentials for other genetic disorders
*Depending on gene of interest
Our improvement of the CRISPR system offers new therapeutic and cell-editing opportunities.
LABIOTECH.eu named CRISPR as one of the four technologies that will change cancer treatment.

The core of our strategy is to couple Cas9 to the exonuclease to promote deletions at the specific target genomic site that prevents the repair of non-modified DNA. The best efficiency is achieved by using noncovalent coupling through coiled-coil dimers, developed previously by the Jerala group. Improved efficiency of target gene inactivation is one of the key applications of CRISPR, such as targeting dominant pathogenic mutations in primary cells for therapy or biotechnological applications. This is reflected in our portfolio and applications, notably immune-oncology conditions where we focused our interest.
