PHC Conference webinar: Gene Modification
Webinar6 August 2020Part of the Protection, Health and Care Conference 2020 webinar seriesChief Medical Officer (CMO) for Gen Re Life/Health Research and Development, Dr John O'Brien, will discuss the impacts of Gene Modification for life/health insurance.

Exciting techniques such as CRISPR and viral vectors show promise in treating some serious and devastating diseases. The ability to change genes does however predictably pose ethical dilemmas
