the whole experience has brought me so much closer to my family. alyssa is back at home in leicester thanks to a pioneering new cancer therapy. all other treatment options for her leukaemia had failed. breathe in and breathe out. . thank you, that s a good one. so in may she received a world first therapy. i know that i ve helped other children as well, that other children might be able to get cured because of the research that i ve been part in. it is extremely exciting, - so obviously this is a new field i in medicine and it s fascinating i that we can redirect the immune system to fight cancer. alyssa s immune system couldn t clear her cancer, so she was given donor cells which had been tweaked using a new technique called base editing. in the lab three precise changes were made to the cells dna, and they were then armed
and i think that s a revolution in our field. alyssa s immune system couldn t clear her cancer, so she was given donor cells, which had been tweaked using a new technique called base editing. in the lab, three precise changes were made to the cells dna, and they were then armed to fight her cancer. base editing is part of a genetic revolution, which is transforming our understanding of human biology. it is an incredibly precise tool with huge potential to treat and possibly cure a range of diseases, especially disorders of the blood. ten children with t cell leukaemia will have the treatment as part of a clinical trial. it s a very fast moving area of science. there s enormous amounts of innovation going on in terms of how we can use these new tools to manipulate and change bits of dna. and our applications
