Description
Dialogue event of the Medical Section with Dr. med. Oswald Hasselmann
Genome editing (genome surgery) refers to molecular biological methods for the precise modification of DNA in plants, animals and human beings. With the help of “genetic scissors”, in particular the CRISPR/Cas9 technique, building blocks of the genetic material can be specifically removed, added or replaced.
The technology is rapidly transforming medicine and plant breeding, gives many seriously ill people hope through the development of “gene replacement therapy” (gene therapy), and at the same time harbours ethical and safety-related risks and open questions.
A dialogue event of the Medical Section in June 2026 with Dr. med. Oswald Hasselmann.
