John Zuris has long been drawn towards developing protein-based medicines and found a perfect home in the emerging CRISPR field. As a Scientist at Editas Medicine, he heads the Cpf1 group which focuses on using the CRISPR-Cpf1 modality for making better gene editing medicines. His group works at the exciting interfaces of protein design and cell therapy. Prior to joining Editas Medicine, John completed his postdoctoral training in the laboratory of Dr. David Liu (Harvard University-Broad Institute) where he developed a lipid nanoparticle delivery system for CRISPR-Cas9 RNPs which allows...Read more
