GRIT-LAB Developing Next-Generation CRISPR Technologies

At GRIT-Lab, we optimize CRISPR tools to advance their application in human therapeutics. To achieve this, we develop novel directed evolution screens and cutting-edge next-generation sequencing techniques. We are committed to partnering with various collaborators to push the boundaries of what’s possible in genome editing.

GRIT-LAB BELIEVES THAT GENOME-EDITING PLATFORM TECHNOLOGY’S RE-INNOVATION IS ENDLESS.

The first semiconductor hit the market in 1954 and earned a Nobel Prize in 1956, paving the way for continuous innovations, including today’s AI chips that are transforming the world. Similarly, the first commercial monoclonal antibody drug, approved in 1986 following a Nobel Prize in 1984, set the stage for advancements like Antibody Drug Conjugation, which is revolutionizing the field. More recently in 2023, the first CRISPR drug, which won the Nobel Prize in 2020, was approved. At GRIT-Lab, we are confident that our scientists will continue to this legacy of innovation, developing groundbreaking platform technologies in the decades to come.
