CRIPSR genetic modification technology is the latest example of “disruptive” biotechnologies that can generate far- reaching and unforeseen consequences. At this symposium, we will explore CRISPR through various lenses in order to better appreciate its diverse bioethical dimensions and implications.

Our goal at this year’s symposium is to generate conversations among a broad range of audiences: members of the public, representatives of regulatory bodies, biomedical researchers, clinicians, patients, humanities scholars, and many others. Active exchange among speakers and audience members will be encourages throughout the day.

Speakers:

Alta Charo,Jacob Corn, Hank Greenly, Ben Hurlbut, Eben Kirksey, Paul Knoepfler, Meaghan O’Keefe, Sarah Perrault, Ken Taymor, Patricia Williams, and Michael J. Zerbe
