[Transformative Basic Science] Grant Investigators: Chris Somerville and Heather Youngs This page was reviewed but not written by the grant investigators. Broad Institute staff also reviewed this page prior to publication. Open Philanthropy recommended a grant of $2,500,000 over three years to the Broad Institute to support exploratory research on new technologies for genome editing, led by Feng Zhang. Zhang is well-known for his research on the discovery and applications of CRISPR enzymes for genome editing, and plans to use these funds to support a series of experiments to try and discover better ways of getting CRISPR reagents into cells for gene therapy applications, and several other topics. This falls within our work on scientific research, specifically within our interest in advancing transformative basic science.
