He also shares why in vivo therapies still need to prove precision, durability, and predictability before they become mainstream, and why the field must move beyond proof of concept to reproducible clinical performance across patients and diseases. He discusses the importance of patient selection, tissue specificity, and matching editing efficiency to biological thresholds, and much more. Subscribe to the podcast!

Hi everyone, I'm Erin Harris, host of Cell & Gene: The Podcast. Welcome to Episode 3 in our special In Vivo-focused series. If you didn't catch Episodes 1 and 2 yet, definitely do yourself a favor and go back and give them a listen. Episode 1 features my conversation with Precision Biosciences Cassie Gorsuch, and Episode 2, I sit down with Beam Therapeutics Gopi Shanker. They're both definitely worth your time, well worth a listen, so go back and listen to those when you get a chance.

This is Episode 3 and I'm talking to Ascidian Therapeutics founder, president, and CEO Dr. Mike Ehlers. We talk about how the company is advancing a new class of genetic medicines built on RNA exon editing to durably correct disease at the transcript level without permanently altering DNA. Mike also shares why In Vivo therapies still need to prove precision, durability, and predictability before they become mainstream.

We also talk about why the field must move beyond proof of concept to reproducible clinical performance across patients and diseases. And we also discuss the importance of patient selection, tissue specificity, and matching editing efficiency to biological thresholds. And we also cover a lot more in our conversation. This is a terrific episode and I'm certain you will find it interesting and well worth your time. So without further ado, here's my conversation with Ascidian Therapeutics,

Dr. Mike Ehlers, Dr. Mike Ehlers. Mike, thanks for joining me on Cell and Gene, the podcast in this really special series that we're doing for In Vivo therapies.
