Half of all babies born with CPS1 deficiency don鈥檛 live longer than one week. A biomedical breakthrough could someday make that frightening statistic a thing of the past. In May 2025, a team of doctors and scientists from Pennsylvania reported that they鈥檇 delivered the first-ever to a baby diagnosed with CPS1 deficiency. In August 2025, the child celebrated his first birthday.
This was but one of several remarkable advances shared during the held August 12-16 at 黑料吃瓜资源 (CSHL). Over the course of that meeting, we sat down with some of the field鈥檚 leading minds, including the scientists behind the aforementioned breakthrough, Rebecca Ahrens-Nicklas and Kiran Musunuru. Together, they offered fascinating insights into what CRISPR may mean for the future of science and medicine.
