We are going to raise funds for the research project: "CORRECTION OF MUTATIONS in LMNA or EMD in cells of patients with muscular dystrophy of Emery-Dreifuss using CRISPR / Cas9 technology: towards a more effective treatment".
Cost of the Project: € 107,800.00
Involved Centers:
- UNIMORE Regenerative Medicine Center of the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia
- CNR Institute of Molecular Genetics of Bologna - Gaslini Unit of Genoa
- Carlo Besta Neurological Institute of Milan.
This technique, also called "smart scissors", would replace portions of the mutated gene with a short gene portion in vitro.
