Strategy& Insider Episode 48 - Rewriting medicine with CRISPR and genome editing

What if curing a disease took a single treatment instead of a lifetime of pills, and the same technology could help cool the planet? In this episode, Dr. Bradley Ringeisen, Executive Director of the Innovative Genomics Institute (IGI) at UC Berkeley, takes us inside the CRISPR revolution. From the first FDA-approved sickle cell therapy to a custom cure that saved a baby's life in Philadelphia, to rice engineered to emit 60% less methane, Brad reveals how genome editing is reshaping medicine, climate, and food security alike. We dig into the science, the make-or-break "delivery" challenge, and the IGI's "CRISPR Commons" initiative, a bold plan to make genome editing equitably accessible worldwide.
