#EmployeeAppreciationDay
!
As a small token of appreciation, we hosted a breakfast for our employees to honor their commitment and hard work.
With their insightful ideas and unwavering commitment, our team is the driving force behind our success.
#RareDiseaseDay
is a time of unity and support for individuals & families living with rare diseases.
With the help of technology, like PGI, we can impact the rare disease community. Let's all work together to improve the lives of those affected.

Just weeks after launching with $213 million,
@Tome_bio
has acquired a tiny startup called Replace Therapeutics for its gene editing tool that combines Cas9 and a DNA ligase to insert a piece of genetic code. Read more in my exclusive story for
@endpts
The FDA recently approved Casgevy, a CRISPR therapeutic for beta-thalassemia. Congrats to
@VertexPharma
and
@CRISPRTX
on this important milestone in genomic editing treatments.

@NaturePortfolio
covers some exciting ideas on how to take
#CRISPR
to the next level in this article.
However, inserting large DNA segments remains a challenge among these "CRISPR 2.0" techniques.
We are excited to welcome Daniel Curran, MD, to Tome’s Board of Directors and look forward to the valuable corporate and drug development expertise he will bring to Tome.
