CRISPR-Cas: Precision in Evolution

Description

CRISPR-Cas has ushered biology into a new era of targeted gene editing. The lecture explains how this molecular tool works and demonstrates how it is changing processes in medicine, agriculture, and research. The focus is on the possibilities of deliberately influencing biological systems—and the question of how this changes our understanding of evolution, adaptation, and the shaping of life. Where are the ethical boundaries between intervention, optimization, and re-creation?
