Welcome to the Bioethics Observatory of the Catholic University of Valencia (UCV) where we delve deep into the world of genetic research. Join us for the conference “Genetic research: possibilities and risks. An approach from bioethics” on July 4, 2024, at the UCV San Juan y San Vicente headquarters (18 Jorge Juan Street).
To attend in person, register in advance. Alternatively, you can watch the conference online here. If you choose to tune in virtually, simply visit https://youtube.com/live/.
Genetic research is at the forefront of biomedical sciences, offering vast applications in bioengineering, editing, and gene therapies. However, with these advancements come new bioethical dilemmas that need urgent attention, from safety and efficacy to regulation and control.
Our conference aims to provide a scientific perspective on the current landscape of genetic research, exploring recent evidence such as epigenetic processes, therapeutic editing applications, bioengineered mini human organs, ethical considerations of heritability, and the necessity for regulatory frameworks.
Renowned experts in the field will present the latest research, enabling a bioethical assessment grounded in scientific rigor.
This event is tailored for researchers, educators, students, and anyone intrigued by Bioethics, specifically within genetics.
