Episode notes

What is gene editing, how can it be used, and should we be concerned about the science that can alter the basic building blocks of our biology?

In this episode Eliot Forster is joined by Ness Bermingham, scientist, business leader, and presenter of the 'Between the Biotech Waves' podcast to explore an often misunderstood aspect of the science of our bodies.

Eliot will hear how how gene editing can address diseases like sickle cell anemia, that have defied effective treatments. Ness will explain the possibilites and hope for people whose lives have been blighted by diseases that once seemed beyond cure.
