Conventional medicines treat the symptoms instead of the cause of diseases, meaning that patients must be treated throughout their lives. We are working to develop treatments that target the cause of diseases and can cure patients.
Genome Editing Resources
The resources below provide background information regarding cell and gene therapies, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology and Intellia’s genome editing work.
Intellia is developing therapies that edit patients’ somatic cells, which are the non-reproductive cells, to permanently treat their disease without impacting their progeny. Our therapies will not seek to edit patients’ germline or reproductive cells. (Changes to germline cells could be passed down to future generations.) Read Intellia’s full statement here.
Resources for the Transthyretin Amyloidosis Community
We are proud to work closely with the following organizations so that we can better understand the needs of patients and their families and caregivers. These organizations can also provide you additional information and access to transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) research and support.
