What kind of modification of the human genome is already possible, and how is it done? During this talk, cell and molecular biologist Maarit Neuvonen, PhD, will walk you through the principles and real-life examples of the advanced biotherapies that are already in the clinics at the current day. You will hear examples of the cutting-edge technologies, including gene and cell therapies and their applications. After the talk, there will be time for open discussion and exploration of imaginative implications of these methodologies for your sci-fi adventures and cyber-punk worlds. The speaker has over 20 years of experience in bioscientific research, and has worked since 2019 in development of novel biopharmaceuticals.
