Riding the Molecular Uber: Exploring Gene Therapy

This podcast discusses the groundbreaking technologies, Gene Therapy and CRISPR, that are changing how diseases are treated. Gene therapy allows for the repairing or replacement of genes at a cellular level. CRISPR works as a molecular scalpel, enabling scientists to edit specific parts of DNA. Both have shown potential in treating sickle cell disease, blindness, and cancers. Ethical considerations surrounding these technologies, such as accessibility and designer genetics, were also discussed.
