<p style="margin: 10px 0;">We hope to engage the general public in a thoughtful conversation on this hot topic by discussing the history, ethics, and future of several GMO areas, all of which have been effected by the innovations of synthetic biology. Please check out the videos at our youtube channel. In particular, we have created 2 videos – one on transgenic corn and another on gene therapy.</p> | <p style="margin: 10px 0;">We hope to engage the general public in a thoughtful conversation on this hot topic by discussing the history, ethics, and future of several GMO areas, all of which have been effected by the innovations of synthetic biology.
