Danforth Technology Company launched Spearhead Bio to make the process of gene editing faster and more efficient.

The Donald Danforth Plant Science Center has launched a new gene-editing startup called Spearhead Bio, aimed at addressing a significant challenge in CRISPR technology: the delivery of gene-editing tools into plant cells. Spearhead Bio, which emerged from the Danforth Center's Technology Accelerator, focuses on developing a novel delivery system that can efficiently introduce CRISPR components into plant cells, overcoming the limitations of current methods that are often inefficient and genotype-specific. The startup's technology promises to enhance the precision and effectiveness of gene editing in plants, potentially revolutionizing crop improvement and accelerating the development of new plant varieties with desired traits.
