Have you heard of CRISPR? This tool allows the editing of genes which could fundamentally change the future of humanity.

It could help prevent disease , genetic defects & more.

That's why we're extremely excited to welcome Dr. Renee Wegrzyn as the latest addition to our world class speaker lineup at Dare Mighty Things.

She's a Program Manager for DARPA's Biological Technologies Office (BTO).

At DARPA, she leads the Safe Genes project,
with the purpose of enhancing the safety of gene editing with CRISPR.

“The field of gene editing has been advancing at an astounding pace, opening the door to previously impossible genetic solutions but without much emphasis on how to mitigate potential downsides,” said Dr. Wegrzyn.

“DARPA launched Safe Genes to begin to refine those capabilities by emphasizing safety first for the full range of potential applications, enabling responsible science to proceed by providing tools to prevent and mitigate misuse", she added.
