Lempo Therapeutics is an Israel-based, pre-clinical gene editing company, utilising CRISPR-Cas9 to edit stem-cells ex vivo, to inactivate disease causing myeloperoxidase (MPO) proteins in patients suffering from pulmonary arterial hypertension. Using CRISPR, Lempo edits CD34+ cells to knock out the MPO gene, after which the cells can be reinfused into patients.
