This is the Zoom registration option for this course!

Back once again with all new content, this course will look at the advances in medical- and bio- technology that have occurred over the last year, driven by our understanding of genetics and molecular biology.

While scientists and regulators are coming together to chart a pathway for the development and approval of treatments for rare genetic diseases, ongoing clinical studies of new treatment technologies have had both high and low moments. And artificial intelligence promises or, depending on your point of view, threatens to revolutionize both healthcare and the discovery of new therapeutic gents. But technological advances often bump up against established norms.

We shall look at advances in cell engineering and together discuss where boundaries should be drawn, not to be crossed. We will also remember the contributions of several ‘greats’ in the field who died in the last year. Whether you’re a returning participant or new to the field, this course is perfect for anyone curious about the human genome and the groundbreaking genetic technologies shaping our world.

This course will combine lecture with class discussions.

This is a four-session course (8 hours total).
