With the support of donors, both locally and abroad, SickKids’ Dr. Ronald Cohn was the first to use the ‘game-changing’ genome-editing technology known as CRISPR to correct DNA errors in the cells of a patient with muscular dystrophy. This breakthrough research could soon be used to treat patients with other genetic diseases.
