Episode 2 of The Issue on the ASGCT podcast network is an in-depth interview with Dr Tom McCauley, CSO of Omega Therapeutics. Tom and Emily talk about his path from condensed matter physics to leading teams of scientists exploring the next generation of molecular therapeutics. They also dive into their mutual experience in the early days of in vivo gene editing and the challenges one faces with the complexities of these products, particularly before there is much of a roadmap for development. Finally, they dive into the recent public Ad Comm and ultimate approval of Casgevy and how we hope the industry continues to evolve and set standards as we move forward novel approaches.
