2025 Template

Since 2010, this important conference continues to focus on the field of genome and epigenome editing. The meeting will focus on new tools and technologies, understanding the biology of editors and their outcomes, new classes of precise editors, plant and animal modeling with precise genome editing, and clinical trials of genome editors.

The conference seeks to present the latest research findings in these fields and support early-career investigators, women, and other historically-excluded groups in the field of genome editing. Through collaboration and networking at this meeting, it can accelerate the translation of fundamental advances into viable genome editing technologies. We encourage scientists from all countries and institutions with shared interests in genome and epigenome editing to join FASEB and our volunteer organizers in Rome, Italy for stimulating presentations, discussions, and activities.

Workshops

Attendees will hear advice from researchers with exceptional genome editing experience during an engaging Meet the Experts session where they will discuss genome editing career development and pathways in academia and industry.

A Career Development Workshop will be held as a panel discussion format with a diverse group of scientists from different career stages, specializations, and nationalities within industry or academia. This session will focus on key aspects that led them to their current career trajectory.
