At the seminar, the authors of the report from the World Bank Group will present the key findings of the World Bank Group’s latest report, “ Resurgent East Asia: Navigating a Changing World”. The report discusses how middle income countries in East Asia will need to adapt their development models to support their growth and development in the face of new global challenges such as changes in global trade patterns and rapid technological shifts and of country-specific circumstances. After the report presentation, discussants will discuss the implications for Thailand and the region.
CRISPR: It’s the powerful gene editing technology transforming biomedical research. Fast, cheap and easy to use, it allows scientists to rewrite the DNA in just about any organism—including humans—with tests on human embryos already underway. The technique’s potential to radically reshape everything from disease prevention to the future of human evolution has driven explosive progress and heated debate. Join the world’s CRISPR pioneers to learn about the enormous possibilities and ethical challenges as we stand on the threshold of a brave new world of manipulating life’s fundamental code.
