In this week’s Tech Tuesday, UF Innovate highlights CasNx, a company that uses CRISPR-based technologies for diagnostics and to genome-edit donor organs before transplant. This makes the organs virus-free and less likely to trigger an immune response, improving their safety and durability.
“The University of Florida has some of the best organ transplant outcomes in the country. We’re here with CasNx to learn more. Dr. Jain, Dr. Shah, tell us a little bit more about who you are and what you do,” said Elora Duong, host of UF Innovate.
“Hi. I’m an associate professor of chemical engineering at [the] University of Florida, and my lab focuses on building CRISPR-based technologies for diagnostics and therapeutics,” said Dr. Piyush K. Jain, co-founder of CasNx.
