Spreading Christmas Cheer for a Great Cause! On Christmas Jumper Day, our team came together to celebrate and support Save the Children UK in their mission to create brighter futures for children around the world. With everyone dressed in their festive knits, we also had a special contribution from our very own Claire Bevis-Mott, Director of Product Development who showcased her incredible talent by creating beautiful Amigurumi crochet pieces! These handmade treasures added a unique touch to our fundraiser, helping us raise an amazing £207 for this worthy cause. A huge thank you to Claire and to everyone who participated and donated—you’ve made a real difference. #ChristmasJumperDay #SaveTheChildren #TeamSpirit #CharityFundraising #MakingADifference

What an inspiring experience at the Alliance for Regenerative Medicine's Cell & Gene Meeting on the Mesa! This year, we heard incredible stories, including Jimi Olaghere's—once a sickle cell patient, now a mountain climber. Jimi’s journey from battling this debilitating disease to conquering Mount Kilimanjaro showcases the transformative power of CRISPR-engineered therapies. His participation in a CRISPR gene-editing trial several years ago corrected the mutation behind his sickle cell disease, and with this groundbreaking therapy now approved in both the U.S. and Europe, countless others have new hope for a brighter future. Alongside these moving patient stories, our Chief Commercial Officer, Steve Becker and Elisa Arthofer, Director of Alliance Management, had the chance to connect with therapeutic developers and showcase our DNA mapping technology, INDUCE-seq. This cutting-edge platform enables the development of safer gene-edited therapies by reducing risk and saving time—accelerating the next wave of scientific breakthroughs in the field. We’re excited for the future of gene and cell therapies, and it's an honor to contribute to this innovative community! #CellandGeneMesa #RegenerativeMedicine #GeneEditing #CRISPR #Mesa2024
