What do the wheel, assembly line, electricity, fire, and CRISPR all have in common? Each of them gave humans the ability to access the next level of their respective fields, and this month Drew & Liv had the incredible opportunity to chat with Dr. Benjamin L. Oakes: one of the first people to work with CRISPR and see it grow to where it is today. In this episode, you will learn exactly what CRISPR is, how it revolutionized biological research, and how Scribe Therapeutics will take it to its next generation.
