[11/3] Global Innovation and Intellectual Property Symposium

The Harvard Club of Beijing invites you to join fellow Beijing alumni to attend Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Symposium on November 3.


The Theme of this symposium is A CRISPR case study in worldwide transformation of bio-discovery and commerce. CRISPR, a bacterial immune system, has been repurposed and engineered to provide the tools to precisely edit genomes with unparalleled simplicity and flexibility, resulting in a research revolution. This breakthrough gene editing technology was first demonstrated in eukaryotes in Science, on January 3, 2013 and since then it has already become a foundational tool for cancer, infectious disease and mental health research and is inspiring a multitude of promising biotech start-ups.
