This month I am joined by Benjamin Oakes, scientist, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Scribe Therapeutics. He studied at UC Berkeley, working in the Doudna Lab and Savage Lab during the earliest days of CRISPR. We discuss his personal vision for the future of CRISPR, encouraging advances in the field, and the first ever drug approval for a CRISPR based therapy.
