With the success documented, the researchers are now aiming to develop the treatment into an oral drug that could stop transmission in people. That’s what we hope to achieve one day with this gene scissors approach.”What is CRISPR and how it acts on COVID-19? But with the coronavirus rapidly mutation and showing signs of continuing to disrupt the world for years to come, the research team believes the CRISPR drug creation is a project worth pursuing. While vaccines have proven effective in curbing the spread and severity of COVID-19 infections, there aren’t enough treatments to cure a patient. As per the researchers in Australia, the CRISPR treatment has the potential to be available in such a form.
