The Campbell Foundation Awards Grant to Develop Gene Editing Tool to Destroy Latent HIV Cells in Lymph Nodes
|
|
The Campbell Foundation, a nonprofit organization based in Fort Lauderdale and dedicated to funding HIV/AIDS research, has awarded an $80,000 grant to
Kristine Yoder, PhD, to develop a CRISPR-based gene editing platform designed to eradicate HIV. CRISPR stands for
Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats. It is a novel genome editing technology that targets a tiny section of DNA and cuts it at a precise point. Yoder, an assistant professor of Cancer Biology and Genetics at
The Ohio State University College of Medicine, is developing the use of CRISPR to disable the HIV-1 provirus, that is, copies of the HIV-1 genome that latently reside in the DNA of infected host immune cells.
