    Know all by these present, that the undersigned

and/or stockholder of Editas Medicine, Inc. (the
"Company"), Forms 3, 4, and 5 (including any
amendments thereto) in accordance with Section 16(a)
of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the rules
thereunder (the "Exchange Act");

    (2)  do and perform any and all acts for and on
behalf of the undersigned which may be necessary or
desirable to prepare, complete and execute any such
Form 3, 4, or 5, prepare, complete and execute any

    (3)  seek or obtain, as the undersigned's

the undersigned hereby authorizes any such third party
to release any such information to the herein

any such release of information; and

    (4)  take any other action of any type whatsoever
in connection with the foregoing which, in the opinion

    The undersigned hereby grants to each such
