CRISPR and Gene Editing: The New Frontier in Fighting Infectious Diseases?
April 2, 2020 - 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Few technologies have the potential to disrupt and eliminate infectious disease and viral infections– but gene editing, CRISPR in particular, is a latent technology that could change biotech – and we’re just seeing the beginning of what effect it could have on the world.
With scientific promise comes interest from investors – a surge of biotech startups are utilizing CRISPR technology for many different applications such as at-home testing, in-clinic uses, and more. “This incredibly powerful repurposing of the bacterial immune system has created an outpouring of financial backing for small companies with revolutionary technological advancement in genome engineering-based ventures.”[1]
We will explore this subject with presentations from experts in the field, startup companies innovating in this space, and investors looking to invest in these new applications.
*Please note: This webinar will be a rebroadcast of the livestream from this event which took place November 12, 2019 in Toronto. All registrants will receive a link to the recording after the webinar.
