From eradicating disease to selecting a child’s traits, gene editing gives humans the chance to hack biology. Co-Creators and Co-Directors, Joe Egender and Leeor Kaufman, will talk about their revealing four part Netflix series alongside Jeffrey Kahn, Ph.D.,M.P.H., Andreas C. Dracopoulos Director of the Berman Institute of Bioethics, who is featured in the series. Joining the panel will be Raeka Aiyar, Ph.D., Associate Vice President, Scientific Outreach, at the NY Stem Cell Foundation Research Institute, and Thomas Crawford, M.D., Co-Director, Johns Hopkins University Muscular Dystrophy Association Clinical Professor of Neurology.
