Ein ETH-Spin-off will die Genschere in die Klinik bringen 
Mithilfe der Crispr/Cas-Technologie können Forschende das Erbgut präzise editieren, um Erbkrankheiten zu therapieren. Dafür müssen sie jedoch ungewollte Schnitte im Genom frühzeitig erkennen. Pioneer Fellow Lilly van de Venn entwickelt solche Prüfverfahren.
