Redefining human genetics

Imagine a world where advanced gene editing was commonplace: would there be designer babies, fewer genetic diseases? This may sound like science fiction, but researchers are rapidly advancing toward these possibilities.

Professor Paul Thomas uses CRISPR technology to develop precision therapies for various inherited diseases and genetic tools for suppressing invasive pests––and he’s speaking out about the possible risks of gene editing.

Join us in October to learn the impacts––both positive and negative––gene modification could have on our health, environment, and society.
