Genome Editing & Engineering Conference: 2-Day Event (San Diego, CA, United States - February 6-7, 2020)

Dublin, Oct. 11, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "4th Edition Genome Editing & Engineering Conference" conference has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Since past editions, we dedicated our focus on the latest developments and addressed various applications of CRISPR as a molecular tool, gene expression, knock-in, genomic screening, along with therapeutic developments through animal modeling.

Attended by 100+ genome editing professionals and 20+ gene expert speakers, the event saw participation of big companies like Casebia Therapeutics, Genentech, BMS, Cellectis, University of Laval, University of California, Center of Advanced Genome Engineering, Georgia Tech, Stanford University, Locana, Harvard Medical School, Agility, Poseida, Vertex, Ligandal, Integrated DNA Technologies, GE Healthcare, Cellecta, Agilent, Advanced Analytical, Thermofisher, Atum, Synthego, New England Biolabs, Aldevron, Applied Stem Cell and more.

Leading experts and professionals from pharmaceuticals and academia will outline breakthrough advancements in pre-clinical & clinical therapeutics using genome Editing. The event will also focus on the analysis of off-target effects, specificity, and aspects of gene and cellular therapies.

The conference will attract CEO, CSO, VP, Directors, Scientists, Researchers, Heads, Managers, Professors, Ph.D. students and many more from the Genome Editing & Engineering field.

The two-day event will invite 150+ genome editing professional, 20+ experts speakers and 15+ solution/technology providers at a unique platform to deliver niche buyer-seller ecosystem in the genomic world.

In 2020, coming with the 4th Edition Genome Editing & Engineering Conference on 6th & 7th February in San Diego, we are getting ahead by discussing the commercialization and advancements of technology which will outline breakthrough advancements in pre-clinical & clinical therapeutics using genome Editing.

The event will also focus on the analysis of off-target effects, specificity, and aspects of gene and cellular therapies.
