Having surrendered 60 percent of its lead asset’s commercial upside to Vertex Pharmaceuticals to secure balance sheet firepower, the company now faces its defining strategic test—whether its balance sheet and first-mover credibility can buy enough runway to transition toward scalable, single-shot *in vivo* therapies before nimble next-generation competitors redefine the frontier it opened.---Subscribe to our newsletter on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/build-relation/newsletter-follow?entityUrn=7408775804387491842Follow us on X @emportop---Transcript - https://empor.top/us/CRSPReferences
