Gloria Yiu, M.D., Ph.D., delves into the transformative potential of genetic editing technologies in addressing rare immune disorders, with a focus on CD3δ severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID)—a condition characterized by impaired T-cell development and severely compromised immune function. Leveraging her expertise as a physician-scientist, Yiu explores how CRISPR and other precision gene-editing tools can correct genetic mutations at the cellular level, potentially restoring T-cell production and immune resilience in patients with CD3δ SCID. Her presentation underscores the challenges and breakthroughs in treating such life-threatening conditions, emphasizing the role of interdisciplinary research, clinical innovation, and ethical considerations in advancing the frontiers of personalized medicine.
