Radio New Zealand interview with Geoff Nichol

11 minutes
Top genetic scientists from all around the world met in New York last week and put together a list of guidelines to help navigate the ethical minefield of human genetic modifications. The summit was prompted by the development of a new genetic editing technique called CRISPR-cas9. The technique is a relatively simple way of cutting and pasting sections of DNA. Nine to Noon speaks to Geoff Nicols, The Executive Vice-President, Research and Development at Sangamo BioSciences.

Most of interview spent on broad genetic engineering issues, spends a minute midway discussing the Sangamo HIV program.
