We are delighted to announce that GSEJ Director, Joy Zhang has been invited to speak at the opening of the Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing on 6 March. Zhang will review the regulation in China following the 2018 clinical use of heritable human genome editing in her presentation.
The Third International Summit on Human Genome Editing will take place on 6-8 March 2023 at the Francis Crick Institute, London UK. Building on previous events held in Washington, DC (2015) and Hong Kong (2018), this Summit will continue the important dialogue around human genome editing. It will facilitate a global discussion on somatic and germline genome editing, including developments in clinical trials and genome editing tools such as CRISPR/Cas9. Earlier this year, the Royal Society has organised a three-part series of online events Looking Ahead to the Third Human Genome Editing Summit discussed some of the key topics of the meeting.
The three-day summit is being organised by the Royal Society, the UK Academy of Medical Sciences, the US National Academies of Sciences and Medicine and The World Academy of Sciences.
Registration to attend the event in person and online is now open.
