Doctoral Program for World-leading Innovative & Smart Education

We will hold a total of four seminars with the title "Developing a Future Society with Genome Editing" to introduce our efforts related to genome-editing technology, which is one of Hiroshima University's strengths, and to give easy-to-understand explanations of the potential of genome editing.

The theme of the first round is "Genome-Editing Technology for Understanding and Curing Disease.”

The seminar is free of charge and open to the public. We welcome those interested in the development and industrial use of genome-editing technology.
