This worldwide meeting brings together the world's leading scientists, researchers, and innovators to present the newest and best developments in genetic medicine.
The primary focus area is "CRISPR-Cas9 & Beyond: Emerging Genome Editing Platforms," referring to these high-tech tools that can allow for accurate and precise modifications to the DNA in order to repair genetic defects, increase resistance to disease, and discover new therapeutic tools. These emerging genome editing tool platforms reach beyond traditional CRISPR methods and will allow for greater precision, efficiency, and the creation of novel therapeutics.
