Gene therapy: Crispr (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats) is an an immune strategy that bacteria use to detect and chop up foreign dna. By introducing the enzymes responsible for this process into human cells, genetic engineering can be performed. Treating a disease using this technology will be quite challenging, but I have no doubt this will eventually make it into clinical trials.
