This is a fascinating, exciting, and perplexing time for biotechnology. The industry delivered RNA vaccines to save countless lives during the pandemic and has created impressive early clinical results using CRISPR gene editing to treat patients with deadly genetic diseases. And yet the sector has been tarnished with safety concerns, drug failures, and lay-offs.
For more than 40 years, Genetic Engineering & Biotechnology News (GEN) has been covering the world of biotechnology. This September, we covered it as never before – in a must-attend virtual event hosted by GEN Edge, the premium subscription news service of GEN.
