In this video, Stan Lipkowitz, MD, PhD, chief of the women's malignancies branch in the National Cancer Institute's Center for Cancer Research, discusses the keynote talk on CRISPR presented at AACR-NCI-EORTC.
"It's clear that there is the potential to use this in many different ways in the treatment of cancer," Lipkowitz said.
Lipokowitz gave an example of ex vivo modification of cells —modifying a patient's lymphocytes and giving them back to the patients for therapeutic intent.
"CRISPR is little bit like PCR was when it was discovered. The more it was around, the more you started to find ways... to apply it in new and different ways," Lipkowitz said.
