Associate Professor Andrew Deans talks about gene editing in medical research (includes captioning)

Getting one DNA letter wrong, in the billions that make up our DNA sequence, can cause devastating diseases like cystic fibrosis, muscular dystrophy and Fanconi Anaemia - a disease being studied in his lab.
Andrew and his team use a technique called gene editing, to seek out, remove and replace DNA mutations in living cells in the lab.
They are developing a gene editing ‘toolkit’ that can effectively and safely fix the mutations in Fanconi Anaemia, and they hope to test the toolkit in clinical trials within the next five years.
