CRISPR and the Future of Genetic Splicing | Adam Hoppe | TEDxBrookings

The ability to cut and paste DNA, known as CRISPR, is the beginning of a new era in medicine and science. In this mind-blowing talk, Adam Hoppe explains what CRISPR is and why it is revolutionizing the sciences and what is possible in medical treatment.

Dr. Adam Hoppe is an Associate Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at South Dakota State University and the director of BioSNTR, a state-wide and federally funded initiative aimed at strengthening research in bioscience and biotechnology.

Dr. Hoppe’s research is focused on discovering how immune system cells protect the body against disease. To approach this question, Dr. Hoppe’s lab combines the development of new microscopes with cutting-edge molecular genetic tools to see the biochemistry that underlies immune cell function.

CRISPR is like a gift from the gods, it's just so amazing. I've been watching videos about it all day.

We will direct our own evolution in the future. Evolution is going too slow to keep up with our culture. Modern humans will make place for the "Next-gen" humans.

Very poor presentation. So many examples and comparing, and not talking about the actual subject. Dragging and hardly coming to the point. I've heard a report that explained the facts, down to the point. We can always improve.
