He estimates that it could take up to five years before such treatments are ready for human testing. Nikolich cited two recent cases where patients died following experimental gene-editing treatments, highlighting the need for further research to understand the full-body effects of gene modification.

    Gene-editing therapies not yet ready for human trials, Stanford expert says

    Gene-editing therapies for the nervous system may need at least another round of studies before they are safe enough to enter human trials, according to one of the world’s most influential figures in the commercialisation of brain science. “The techniques are reasonably well esta…
