Gene editing seems like a great idea: Instead of masking the symptoms of disease, we actually change the genes to bring permanent change that actually removes the disease. The platform used nowadays to do this is known as Crispr. I previously covered two companies, Crispr Therapeutics and Intellia Therapeutics, that license and use this intellectual property. Editas Medicine is also a Crispr licensee. But it failed twice, with treatments aimed at eye disease and sickle cell disease/beta thalassemia. And its stock suffered badly.
