2018 Conference: Genome Editing
-
This podcast was recorded at the Galton Institute conference on genome editing, held at the Royal Society in London in October 2018. In this episode, Martha Henriques talks to Richard Ashcroft, Professor of Bioethics at Queen Mary University of London about the most pressing ethical concerns facing the field of genome editing in human reproduction.

This podcast was recorded at the Galton Institute conference on genome editing, held at the Royal Society in London in October 2018. In this episode, Martha Henriques talks to Austin Burt, Professor of Evolutionary Genetics at Imperial College London, to find out how genome editing could be used to control the mosquitoes that transmit malaria. But given that tools like mosquito nets, antimalarial drugs and insecticides are already available, why do we need to start using gene editing technologies at all?

This podcast was recorded at the Galton Institute conference on genome editing, held at the Royal Society in London in October 2018. In this episode, Martha Henriques talks to Robin Lovell-Badge from the Francis Crick Institute in London, who’s using genome editing techniques to tease apart the regulatory elements, or control switches, within DNA that turn genes on at the right time and in the right place to make all the different parts of the body, particularly focusing on the switches that create crucial sex differences between males and females.

In this episode, Martha Henriques talks to gene therapy specialist Professor Emma Morris, from the UCL Institute of Immunity and Transplantation and the Royal Free Hospital, London. Emma explains how gene editing is being used in an exciting new type of cancer treatment, known as immunotherapy, and looks ahead to some of the other promising approaches coming down the pipeline.

This podcast was recorded at the Galton Institute conference on genome editing, held at the Royal Society in London in October 2018. In this episode, Martha Henriques talks to Kathy Niakan, from the Francis Crick Institute in London, who is studying the very earliest stages of human development and was the first person in the UK to be granted a licence by the Human Fertilisation and Embryology Authority to carry out genome editing in early stage human embryos. But why was it necessary?

This podcast was recorded at the Galton Institute conference on genome editing, held at the Royal Society in London in October 2018. In this episode, Martha Henriques talks to Professor Dan Voytas, director of the Centre for Precision Plant Genomics at the University of Minnesota in the US. He and his team developed the first genome-edited crop that is likely to enter the human food chain, and told Martha the scientific story behind its creation.
