“Rather than just adding a healthy gene to a bunch of cells in a patient and hoping that the gene can correct the disease in question, we now have tools, including CRISPR, to go in and actually surgically fix or repair the broken sequence in the DNA we have inherited…we are literally performing precision chemistry on the double helix.” — Kevin Davies, PhD
