COVID-19: The Push for a Vaccine

Join us for Episode 4 of GEN Live, sponsored by Tecan. In this live zoom event we discuss the state of vaccine development for COVID-19. We evaluate the front-runners, explore the potential of RNA vaccines, ponder the challenges of manufacturing, and tackle questions about herd immunity.

A CRISPR Vision for the Future of Cell Therapy

In this webinar from GEN and The CRISPR Journal, T.J. Cradick, PhD, —who was until recently head of genome editing at CRISPR Therapeutics—will introduce how genome editing is used to engineer cell therapies.

Gene Therapy: What’s Up With AAV?

In this recorded GEN Live event, sponsored by PerkinElmer, we discussed the state of gene therapy, the rise of AAV, and the safety issues that need to be addressed going forward.
