- Using Gene Therapy to Build an Immune System in Newborns Without One
8.28.18 – On the Pulse
Seattle Children’s recently opened a clinical trial that is seeking a potentially safer, less aggressive and equally effective path to a cure by using a novel gene therapy to fix the faulty gene that causes the most common type of severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID). - Casebia Therapeutics Announces License and Collaboration Agreements With Seattle Children’s Research Institute
9.27.17 – Press Release
Casebia Therapeutics, a leading genetic engineering company, and Seattle Children’s Research Institute today announced an exclusive license agreement and research collaboration to explore new methods to treat and prevent autoimmune disease using CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited regulatory T cells (Tregs) – a type of white blood cell that controls and modulates the body’s immune response. - Seattle Children’s Researchers Pioneer Gene Editing that Kills, Resists HIV
9.30.15 – Seattle Children’s On the Pulse
Drs. David Rawlings and Andrew Scharenberg found that gene editing could be used to engineer T cells that resist HIV infection and kill HIV-infected T cells or B-cell tumors. The discovery could help scientists working toward cures for HIV, cancer and other diseases.
