Our Science

Genetic research has experienced major growth over the last 50 years, with potentially ground-breaking therapeutic, industrial and agri-food applications. It is now possible to act directly and precisely on the information that defines the physical attributes of living beings: their genes. Cellectis has established this strong position by applying an innovative economic model, highly creative research and extremely effective tools – meganucleases. Cellectis has the capability to design tailor-made "DNA scissors" which can cut human, animal, plant, viral or bacterial DNA molecules.
