Final Proyect

This proyect was made the last 2 days of the program.

​

It consist on forming a new technology that would solve a problem in humans. 

​

My group and I created a pill with CAS9, which is the protein of CRISPR, and a piece of RNA (complement of the sequence that is going to be cut) that would identify the mutated gene, cut the mutated part and replace it for the proper sequence of bases. 

We created these in order to stop the degeneration of the neurons and therefore of neurotransmitters. Solving some neuronal problems, such as, nervous artritis, demensia and specially parkinson. 

 

We focus in parkinson as it is a disease that has affected 1% of the population and 5% of the population of 60 years old and older.  
 

CRISPR is a new technology, created in 2011 which cuts the part of a gene that is mutated or damaged, it is control as the researcher wants.
