The National Academy of Sciences, National Academy of Medicine, Chinese Academy of Sciences and UK’s Royal Society are co-hosting a three-day international summit on human gene-editing on December 1-3 in Washington, DC. The evening before the summit, DCSWA members are invited to ask a panel of experts questions about the new gene-editing technologies, the potential they hold for scientific and clinical advances and the ethical issues they open up.
Although the panelists at the event will be actively involved in the NAS summit, the event is not a preview of what they will present, but rather an opportunity to get up to speed with the issues before the summit starts.
The panelists have a range of expertise, including:
Date/time: Monday, November 30, 5:30 — 7:00 pm
Venue: Marian Koshland Science Museum, 525 E St NW, Washington, DC 20001
Panelists:
Schedule:
5:30 — 6:15 pm: Panelist introductions and chaired Q&A
6.15 — 7:00 pm: Informal networking with panelists; refreshments provided
