“We do what we must, because we can” - GLaDOS, Aperture Science

Expanding into other organisms

The next step will be to apply the same concept in other living substances like plants, animals or other cell cultures.

Helping humans

The main goal, rescuing people from the edge of death. Although it is probably still decades away, using this system might be a key in the war against cancer.
The greatest use could be in the field of oncology, since there might be a chance to under-regulate the tumor cells and over-regulate the tumorsupressor cells. For example one specific use could be for colon cancer, where APC (a tumorsupressorgene) is mutated. This APC is normally used for degradation of beta-Catenin. Usually this happens in most of the cancer cases, meaning that silencing these mutated genes might be a great help.

Continuing on being creative

There are always ways of using anything for completely different ideas than previously intended. We are eager to find out, what other ways people might think of to use this system.
