At a major genome editing summit, spotlight turns to the value of human life

Earlier gatherings focused on gaining public acceptance for what scientists want to do with CRISPR. This meeting flipped that on its head.

@laurensarko.bsky.social gave a great talk at #ASGCT2025:
CRISPR-engineered CAR T cells targeting senescence-associated uPAR

Clear, compelling science—and a great discussion that followed. Exciting to see where this work is headed.
