Bayer and Crispr Therapeutics teamed up in December 2015 to launch Casebia Therapeutics to develop gene-editing therapies for blood, eye, and heart diseases. Bayer pledged $300 million to the start-up, and Crispr pitched in $35 million.

Casebia is developing gene-editing therapies for hemophilia, multiple genetic forms of blindness, and a rare autoimmune disorder.
