CRISPR/Cas for genome editing – today and tomorrow

The CRISPR/Cas technology has revolutionized the field of genome editing. The technology has been widely adopted in research and is leading to the development of a wide range of applications. But how do we deal with new technologies like CRISPR as a society? Is CRISPR the new golden standard in somatic gene therapy? How can CRISPR contribute to agriculture and food production? And who will have the right to use the technology in the future? Come and join the conversation with scientists in the field in our webinars on "CRISPR/Cas for genome editing – today and tomorrow"
