Born| June 12, 1973 Riverside, California
Nationality| American
Alma mater| Harvard University (BA) University of California, Berkeley (PhD)
Known for| Nucleic acid templated chemistry directed evolution base editing prime editing

When was prime editing discovered?

First described in 2019 , prime editing is a precise gene editing method that has the potential to correct the vast majority of known disease-causing genetic variations. Researchers can use prime editing to make DNA substitutions, insertions, and deletions at targeted sites in human cells and animals.

How does base editing work?

Base editing is a CRISPR-Cas9-based genome editing technology that allows the introduction of point mutations in the DNA without generating DSBs. Two major classes of base editors have been developed: cytidine base editors or CBEs allowing C>T conversions and adenine base editors or ABEs allowing A>G conversions.

Who owns prime editing?

NEW YORK – Gene editing company Prime Medicine launched on Tuesday with $315 million in financing. The company, which was cofounded by the Broad Institute’s David Liu and Andrew Anzalone , uses the prime editing approach in its platform.
