As stem cell-based embryo models become increasingly more sophisticated, they also raise big questions: how do we define a human embryo and what should be the limit of such research?
At this event, in collaboration with the Science Museum - as part of their Lates series - we take a deep dive into the topic of stem cell-based embryo models, an area which saw ground breaking advances in 2023.
Panellists:
- Julian Hitchcock—Of Counsel, Biolawgy Consulting.
- Dr Naomi Moris—Group Leader, Developmental Models Laboratory, Francis Crick Institute.
- Sandy Starr—Deputy Director, Progress Educational Trust; Oversight Group member, Governance of Stem-Cell-Based Embryo Models
- Professor Emily Jackson—Professor of Law, The London School of Economics and Political Science.
- Dr Philip Ball (Chair)—Science writer who has contributed to publications including Nature, New Scientist, the Guardian and New York Times; author of numerous books including The Book of Minds (2022).
