Audio long read: Hope, despair and CRISPR — the race to save one woman’s life
Manage episode 430871886 series 3137

Despite a valiant effort, the pace of research was ultimately too slow to save her life. While many are convinced that these therapies could offer hope to those with overlooked genetic conditions, it will likely take years to develop the techniques needed to quickly create bespoke treatments, something people in need don't have.
