| Abstract: | A poster presentation regarding the impact of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) in pharmacy. Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) are deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) segments present in prokaryotes that contain short repetitive sequences, serving as a defence mechanism against viral DNA. Conditions like Huntington’s disease, cancer, cystic fibrosis, type 1 diabetes, and sickle cell anaemia result from genetic mutations. Many of these diseases currently lack effective treatments. CRISPR/Cas technology holds substantial promise as an effective tool to address these conditions. |
