Informationsåldern började långt före internet – den började med själva livet. Nobelpristagaren Craig C. Mello beskrev vid Lund Spring Symposium i maj hur levande organismer inte bara är bärare av gener, utan också aktiva förvaltare, försvarare och redaktörer av genetisk information.

LUND SPRING SYMPOSIUM – När Katherine A. High började arbeta med genterapi var fältet nytt, lovande – och fyllt av osäkerhet. Hennes forskning har lett till behandlingar som förändrat livet för patienter med ärftliga sjukdomar. Men vägen dit var allt annat än enkel. När Katherine A. High klev in i genterapins värld var konceptet mer teoretiskt än praktiskt. Hon minns de tidigaste försöken i fältet
