SUMMARY:Bespoke: How AI is Ushering in the Era of Precision Genetics
LOCATION:JW Marriott / Salon C
DESCRIPTION:The pioneering base-editing method of Alexis Komor\, PhD\, was recently used to create a custom therapy for an infant with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1\, a deadly rare disease. Her colleague\, Gene Yeo\, PhD\, favors another new approach: RNA-targeting precision therapeutics\, which he used to target ALS & aid a child with developmental epileptic encephalopathy. Both employ AI to discover the roots of polygenic diseases—from the ultra-common like diabetes & heart disease to the ultra-rare—& decode the Dark Genome. More on the promise the technology holds for the future of personalized treatment.
