Editing Humanity - Part II - American Genomics and the Truth about CRISPR (Myth20c - Ep276)

Recently we spoke with Corey from the Stone Choir podcast to talk about the moral, legal and societal ramifications of the CRISPR gene editing technology. Tonight we are honored to have a genetic researcher offer his technical expertise and experience with the inner workings of the biotechnology field, including areas ranging from the increasing computational demands of molecule discovery to the political and financial dynamics of the varied research groups involved in the ever growing search for biological improvements and cures. With this as a backdrop, we compare the institutional quality of the United States, Europe, and Asia, and reflect on the implications for continuance of trends in research and manufacturing excellence in the broader economy.
