Gene editing extends lifespan in mouse model of prion disease

Broad Institute

In 2018, Liu, who works on the same floor as Minikel and Vallabh at Broad, approached them and proposed a collaboration. His lab had just developed base editing, a gene-editing approach that makes single-letter changes in DNA and can shut down protein production using strategies including installing a stop signal in the genetic code.

Targeting a human protein may stop Ebola virus in its tracks

The Pharma Data

Back in 2018, researchers tested a broad-spectrum antiviral candidate called remdesivir/VEKLURY, which acts as a nucleotide decoy to get incorporated into the viral RNA genome and stop viral polymerase. . “The virus hijacks this protein and makes it do something different than its normal job in cells.
