#1 — Matthew Cobb is Professor of Zoology at the University of Manchester. In this episode, Matthew joins our host Antony Adamson to chat about the exciting early days of genetic manipulation and some of the fears that prompted the scientists involved to build new safeguards and self-regulation. They discuss gene editing, the advent of CRISPR, and its transformative effect on discovery science. They also touch on the potential for the future, including using genetic engineering in agriculture and CRISPR as a therapeutic for patients.
In addition to his successful career as a lecturer and academic researcher, Matthew has become well known for his popular science books and documentaries and his expertise in scientific history. His latest book, The Genetic Age: Our Perilous Quest To Edit Life, delves into the history of genetic manipulation and gene editing.
