Companies looking to get innovative biology to patients around the world need to be aware that it takes a 360-degree view of the intellectual property requirements, and in the case of CRISPR this landscape is becoming more and more convoluted, with companies scrambling to renegotiate licensing laws for GMOs to use in research and industry. Taken together, this points towards an opportunity for Forge Genetics to position themselves perfectly, to create a novel, gold-standard gene-editing technology, supporting innovation throughout the global biotechnology industry.

The rising tide of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is recognised as one of the major hurdles of the 21st century, being predicted to cause more deaths worldwide than cancer within the next 25 years [5]. Our overuse of antibiotic agents is driving the evolution of novel antimicrobial-resistant bacterial strains across both agricultural and healthcare sectors. Humanity is fighting a losing battle against billions of years of bacterial evolution. To keep in this fight, we need to come up with more innovative solutions within the field of antimicrobial biotechnology.
