Abstract: With the discovery of CRISPR-Cas9, drug development and precision medicine have
undergone a major change. This review article looks at the new ways that CRISPR-based therapies
are being used and how they are changing the way medicine is done. CRISPR technology's
ability to precisely and flexibly edit genes has opened up new ways to find, validate, and develop
drug targets. Also, it has made way for personalized gene therapies, precise gene editing, and advanced
screening techniques, all of which hold great promise for treating a wide range of diseases.
In this article, we look at the latest research and clinical trials that show how CRISPR could be
used to treat genetic diseases, cancer, infectious diseases, and other hard-to-treat conditions. However,
ethical issues and problems with regulations are also discussed in relation to CRISPR-based
therapies, which shows how important it is to use them safely and responsibly. As CRISPR continues
to change how drugs are made and used, this review shines a light on the amazing things that
have been done and what the future might hold in this rapidly changing field.
