Program

The themes of the meeting include: 1) Recent technological developments; 2) Biological processes that both promote and hinder genome editing efforts; 3) New translational applications, from agriculture to human health.

Conference sessions will present the latest research findings and promote discussions on:
  • What's new? Advances in genome engineering technologies
  • DNA repair and cellular responses
  • Beyond DNA: RNA and epigenome engineering
  • Disease modeling
  • Progress in clinical trials
  • In vivo delivery of genome engineering reagents
  • Applications in agriculture

In addition to keynote lectures from Fyodor Urnov, PhD (Innovative Genomics Institute) and Caixia Gao, PhD (Chinese Academy of Sciences), the conference will feature nine oral sessions, three poster sessions, and a career development session, "Making the Transition from Academia to Industry."
