Build­ing up its I/O ops, CRISPR Ther­a­peu­tics al­lies with Marcela Maus at Mass Gen­er­al

CRISPR Ther­a­peu­tics $CR­SP is al­ly­ing with some top im­muno-on­col­o­gy re­searchers at Mass Gen­er­al to col­lab­o­rate on some new gene edit­ing work­ing aimed at cre­at­ing a new and bet­ter gen­er­a­tion of T cell ther­a­pies.

The biotech — based in Switzer­land with a big re­search group in Cam­bridge, MA — has tied the part­ner­ship knot with Marcela V. Maus, who runs the cel­lu­lar im­munother­a­py group at Mass Gen­er­al. She’ll be us­ing the biotech’s pi­o­neer­ing CRISPR/Cas9 tech to see how it works in build­ing a new-and-im­proved T cell ther­a­py — just as the orig­i­nal mod­els ap­pear poised to hit the mar­ket lat­er in the year.
