If you could change anything about yourself, what would it be? In a world where human gene editing is no longer science fiction, but is happening in labs all over the world, Pint of Science brings you a night with researchers from CRG Barcelona. We will learn all about CRISPR (a very recent gene editing technique) – How does it work? Why is it one of the most important discoveries of our generation? And why is science fiction an important tool to explore the ethical implications of gene editing?
Talks: 1) "CRISPR the coolest tool to modify genomes and much more" - Victoria Neguembor (CRG), 2) "Beyond Jurassic Park: Frontiers of Genomics and SF" - Jose Luis Villanueva-Canas & Will Blevins (CRG + IMIM)
