Gene Editing

The methods of producing and procuring replacement organs will undergo dramatic change in the next decade.

Genetic engineering has been around for a long time, however, so far it has been an extremely expensive, inaccurate and unscalable process.

It is critical to consider the extent to which technological developments can impact economic and social disparities around the world.

Gene editing is the process by which the existing DNA sequence of a species is altered by editing the current sequence of DNA or removing parts of the DNA sequence, an approach closer to natural random genetic mutations that can occur in nature over time.
