Excellent article by Lisa Jarvis describing the patient reality with the approved #CRISPR-based sickle cell therapy Casgevy and issues with drug pricing for potentially curative genetic medicines. Important to not lose sight of access & affordability to maximize patient impact.

One of the coolest applications in AI: proteins play a role in just about every biochemical function, and these breakthroughs have made it possible to design imagined proteins and predict structures of known proteins! Congrats to the #NobelPrize Laureates! 👏
