Gene Editing: Where are we, where are we going

Gene Editing: Where are we, where are we going

We will explore the state of gene editing and how Philadelphia-area researchers and companies are helping advance the field of medicine that gives scientists the ability to change an organism’s DNA.

Gene editing, also known as genome editing, is the process of altering the genetic material of a living organism by inserting, replacing, or deleting a DNA sequence. It is being used in medicine to correct genetic disorders. According to Allied Market Research, the global gene editing market was valued at $3.9 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $7.4 billion by 2031. Hear from leading experts across the region on why the Philadelphia health care industry is poised to capture a big piece of this expanding market.
