Those of you who were at the Extro4 BioTech Futures conference at Berkeley
in 1999 perhaps remember a talk about DNA editing at the cell level.

 

At a particularly dramatic moment as the keynote speaker was giving a
lecture on the topic, our own Robert Bradbury stood and shouted "THAT'S NOT
TRUE!"

 

Those two argued as the audience listened, with Robert arguing that in-vitro
gene editing will someday be possible


"in-vivo", not "in-vitro".

In-vitro means 'in glass' (i.e. petri dishes, etc.)

Ja thanks Ben.  Robert's notion is that we would figure out a way to do
CRISPR (didn't have that name yet) in the body using some sort of nanotech
or a virus or some other means he was always dreaming up.  Had he lived, he
would be doing back flips.
