In this article, we outline three recent studies that have advanced the potential uses of CRISPR in the biomedical field.

Join us live where we discuss how CRISPR screening is proving to be a robust platform for the identification and validation of new biological targets for disease treatment. It is hoped that CRISPR screens will accelerate drug development by providing more robust targets for validation than siRNA screens, for example.

Scientists have identified a potential alternative to antibiotics, a nutrient named taurine that helps the microbiome kill invading bacteria.

Researchers have developed a new technique that that could one day enable us to grow fully functional human organs in the laboratory.

Using synthetic chemistry, researchers have fused hydrophobic adjuvants with water-soluble proteins to create a new type of vaccine.
