Acrigen Biosciences is structured around development of gene editing technologies specifically to improve the efficiency and enhance the safety of CRISPR-Cas based gene editing. The firm's technology is focused on utilizing "anti-CRISPR", or ACR proteins, to function as a deactivation of the Cas proteins to serve as a gene editing "off switch." This technology would help eliminate unwanted side effects and unanticipated editing in a patient by providing and more focused and controlled way to us CRISPER based gene editing.
