Caribou Biosciences to Participate in the Chardan Virtual 5th Annual Genetic Medicines Conference
September 27 2021 - 4:05PM
Caribou Biosciences, Inc. (Nasdaq:CRBU), a leading clinical-stage
CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company, announced today
that Rachel Haurwitz, Ph.D., Caribou’s president and chief
executive officer, will participate in a fireside chat on Monday,
October 4, 2021, at 5:00 pm ET at the Chardan Virtual 5th Annual
Genetic Medicines Conference. Dr. Haurwitz will also be part of a
panel discussion: “Gene Editing: Next-Generation Technologies Worth
Watching” on Tuesday, October 5, 2021, at 12:00pm ET.
The live webcast of the fireside chat will be accessible via
Caribou’s website on the Events page. An archived copy of the
webcast will be available on the Caribou website for 30 days after
the event.
About Caribou’s Novel Next-Generation CRISPR
Platform CRISPR genome editing uses easily designed,
modular biological tools to make DNA changes in living cells. There
are two basic components of Type II CRISPR systems: the nuclease
protein that cuts DNA and the RNA molecule(s) that guide the
nuclease to generate a site-specific, double-stranded break,
leading to an edit at the targeted genomic site. CRISPR systems
occasionally edit unintended genomic sites, known as off-target
editing, which may lead to harmful effects on cellular function and
phenotype. In response to this challenge, Caribou has developed
chRDNAs (pronounced “chardonnays”), RNA-DNA hybrid guides that
direct substantially more precise genome editing compared to
all-RNA guides. Caribou is deploying the power of the chRDNA
technology to carry out high efficiency multiple edits, including
multiplex gene insertions, to develop CRISPR-edited therapies.
About Caribou Biosciences, Inc.Caribou is a
clinical-stage CRISPR genome-editing biopharmaceutical company
dedicated to transforming the lives of patients with devastating
diseases by applying the company’s proprietary chRDNA technology
toward the development of next-generation, genome-edited cell
therapies. The company is developing a pipeline of genome-edited,
off-the-shelf CAR-T and CAR-NK cell therapies for the treatment of
both hematologic malignancies and solid tumors against cell surface
targets for which autologous CAR-T cell therapeutics have
previously demonstrated clinical proof of concept, as well as
additional emerging targets.
