CRISPR 2.0: Precision Medicine
We have moved beyond simple gene editing. Prime Editing and Base Editing technologies now allow for "search and replace" capabilities within the DNA, opening the door to curing complex genetic diseases.
Clinical Pipeline
2026 is the year of approvals. Therapies for sickle cell, beta-thalassemia, and even certain forms of blindness are moving towards commercialization. The FDA's accelerated track for gene therapies is clearing the bottleneck.
Investment Risks
While the science is sound, the pricing models are still unproven. How does the healthcare system pay for a million "one-and-done" cure? The answer will determine the profitability of these biotech pioneers.
