     Know all by these presents, that the undersigned hereby constitutes and
appoints each of Marc Becker, Michael Esposito and Robert E. Puopolo, signing
singly, the undersigned's true and lawful attorney-in-fact to:

        (1)     execute for and on behalf of the undersigned, in the
                undersigned's capacity as an officer and/or director of CRISPR
                Therapeutics AG (the "Company"), (i) Form ID, including any
                attached documents, to effect the assignment of codes to the
                undersigned to be used in the transmission of information to the
                United States Securities and Exchange Commission using the EDGAR
                System, and (ii) Forms 3, 4 and 5 and amendments thereto in
                accordance with Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
                1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder;

        (2)     do and perform any and all acts for and on behalf of the
                undersigned which may be necessary or desirable to complete and
                execute any such Form 3, 4 or 5 and amendments thereto and
                timely file such form with the United States Securities and
                Exchange Commission and any stock exchange or similar authority;
                and

        (3)     take any other action of any type whatsoever in connection with
                the foregoing which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact,
                may be of benefit to, in the best interest of, or legally
                required by, the undersigned, it being understood that the
                documents executed by such attorney-in-fact on behalf of the
                undersigned pursuant to this Power of Attorney shall be in such
                form and shall contain such terms and conditions as such
                attorney-in-fact may approve in such attorney-in-fact's
                discretion.

     The undersigned hereby grants to each such attorney-in-fact full power and
authority to do and perform any and every act and thing whatsoever requisite,
necessary, or proper to be done in the exercise of any of the rights and powers
herein granted, as fully to all intents and purposes as the undersigned might or
