CRISPR Therapeutics: A Galaxy's Worth of Deep Value

CRISPR Therapeutics (NASDAQ: CRSP) has been making headlines lately as a result of its groundbreaking gene-editing collaboration with Vertex Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: VRTX). The backstory is that the two companies recently filed for a spate of regulatory approvals for the CRISPR/Cas9 gene-edited product, exa-cel, as a functional cure for two rare blood disorders, sickle cell disease and transfusion-dependent beta thalassemia. What arguably hasn't been appreciated, however, is CRISPR's other clinical assets in immuno-oncology, regenerative medicine, and in vivo therapeutics.
