- Seek Labs, a healthcare innovations company developing next-generation point-of-care molecular diagnostic systems and novel CRISPR-based gene therapies, announced today the successful completion of a therapeutic trial using innovative CRISPR-based technologies to target the African Swine Fever Virus (ASFV) in pigs.
- The trial, which aimed to replicate and expand an earlier trial, demonstrated pigs infected with ASFV and treated with Seek Labs’ CRISPR-based systems survived longer than untreated infected pigs.
- With no available treatments for African Swine Fever, this is a breakthrough discovery.
- Seek Labs’ work represents a beacon of hope for the swine industry and underscores the transformative potential of CRISPR-based technology in global healthcare.
