Overview

CRISPR Therapeutics is a leading gene-editing company focused on the development of transformative gene-based medicines for serious diseases using its proprietary CRISPR/Cas9 gene-editing platform. CRISPR/Cas9 is a revolutionary technology that allows for precise, directed changes to genomic DNA. Our multi-disciplinary team of world-class researchers and drug developers is working to translate this technology into breakthrough human therapeutics in a number of serious diseases. In addition to our fully-owned programs, we have established strategic collaborations with Bayer AG and Vertex Pharmaceuticals to develop CRISPR-based therapeutics in other diseases with high unmet need. We have licensed the foundational CRISPR/Cas9 patent estate for human therapeutic use our scientific founder, Dr. Emmanuelle Charpentier, who co-invented the application of CRISPR/Cas9 for gene editing. We are headquartered in Basel, Switzerland with R&D operations in Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA and some business operations in London, United Kingdom.
