"Since my freshman year of high school, I have been intrigued by RNA. I conducted my Ph.D. research in Jennifer Doudna’s lab where I was the first student to work on CRISPR. Based on work that was done in her lab, we co-founded Caribou Biosciences with two other scientists. I wanted to transition from academia to industry to have a more direct impact through science on my community. Today at Caribou, our goal is to help realize the promise of CRISPR genome-editing technology and to develop new, potentially transformative cell therapies to help patients with devastating diseases. A role in industry provides me the opportunity to contribute to the development of new therapies for patients that could have a meaningful impact on their lives."
