The groundbreaking documentary Food Evolution offered the general public a science-based introduction to crop biotechnology, revealing how activists attack it and debunking some of the more pernicious myths about GMOs
In the September 2019 issue of Nature Biotechnology, a collective of scientists mostly from Insilico Medicine, led by Alex Zhavoronkov, CEO and founder of the company, published a landmark article.
Understanding gene editing with comic book figures Humanity is currently facing a huge challenge imposed by the Coronavirus. Borders are being shut down, planes grounded, and factories closed. At the

We have learned from a sneak preview on the American public radio station NPR news[1] that a cancer treatment trial using CRISPR received a positive safety report on Wednesday, November
A new gene-editing technique may be capable of fixing almost all disease-causing genetic defects — with fewer off-target effects. The new CRISPR gene-editing technique, described in a Nature paper published
A new comprehensive review paper published last week on 15 July in Nature plants explores how scientists can use CRISPR to enhance traditional plant breeding techniques with the goal of
