“Better living through chemistry” was a hallmark of the 20th century. Our century is defined by biological innovation. What can biology learn from the successes, failures, and unintended consequences of past innovations? Synthetic biology, biomining, and gene editing are allowing us to do unprecedented things. But doing unprecedented things is no longer unprecedented. Our panel will explore where the broad field of biotechnology is headed in coming decades and what researchers, regulators and policymakers can do to assess and prevent negative and often unintended consequences of innovation.
Panelists Include:
- Claudia Schmidt-Dannert, College of Biological Sciences, BioTechnology Institute
- Dan Voytas, College of Biological Sciences
