It is no surprise that one of the most active fields of research in medicine is subject to a lot of controvery: genetics. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 2020 was awarded jointly to Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer A. Doudna "for the development of a method for genome editing." CRISPR-Cas9, also known as genetic scissors, allows you to modify the genomes of organisms by cutting and editting DNA sequences.

Combined with the research in epigenetics, we know have additional tools to work with the gene expression process in your hands. Harvard Medical School researcher and bestselling book auther Prof. David Sinclair shares his dream of reversing aging by using DNA transcription factors.

However, there are many controversies regarding the use of genetically modified organisms (GMO) in agriculture and food, or germline gene therapies which allow to enhance human beings.

But how will CRISIPR pave the way for a utopia? Let's explore!
