Show notes

New technology makes gene editing easier. Its use is being explored to correct diseases caused by genetic mutations, to fight cancer, and even to learn about human evolutionary adaptations, and its potential is amazing. We'll explore the capabilities and research that CRISPR Cas9 gene editing brings, as well as its ethical, legal, and social implications. Jody Platt, Assistant Professor in the Department of Learning Health Sciences at the U-M Medical School Daniel Thiel, doctoral student at the U-M School of Public Health and Department of Sociology Thom Saunders, Director of the U-M Transgenic Animal Model Core For more information on future Science Cafes, please visit our website.
