In January 2018, we’re presenting a free public event to kick off UC Berkeley’s 150th Anniversary year. UC Berkeley biochemist and IGI Executive Director Jennifer Doudna will join oncologist Siddhartha Mukherjee to discuss unprecedented advancements in genome editing and the effect new technologies will have on the future of humanity.
Dr. Doudna, author of A Crack in Creation, and Dr. Mukherjee, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer and The Gene: An Intimate History, share a passion for engaging in public dialogue and welcome you to join the conversation.
This FREE event is open to anyone, but attendees must register via Eventbrite.
