Legit! We’re also working on the same exact type of CRISPR (Cas13) to treat/prevent CoV (as an extension of the Bit Pharma Bio Firewall project we’ve been thinking about for ~7years) here:
Goal is to use gene therapy to make the lung cells delete the virus. Just imagine a Bio Firewall, that’s what we’re working on. We don’t modify the cells’ DNA, we add a new chromosome, and it’s possible to make that self-destructing, which we’ll do. got the side effect prediction algorithm working and posted a video on Twitter here: https://twitter.com/bitpharma/status/1240986466437791744?s=2...
Right now we’re expanding the side effect prediction index from lung CDS to the whole transcriptome with LevelDB ( multiple orders of magnitude more data but we can reuse this algorithm and the prebuilt index across a number of different CRISPR projects) you could use the same exact process for a number of bugs, Flu would be a good one!
Please hit me up at bion@bitpharma.com if interested to assist on stuff like plasmid design, computational directed evolution of stealth CRISPR, in vitro/vivo testing, or business stuff (we’re hackers not MBAs!)
