Dear GenE-HumDi Members,
The GenE-HumDi COST Action organized the CRISPRMED26 Satellite Meeting “Access, IP Landscape and FTO“ in Copenhagen.
The coordinated panel sessions on Access, IP Landscape, and FTO, which culminated in a high-level Panel Discussion participated by GenE-HumDi experts Meliha Negin and Leonardo Martin. This has been a unique opportunity to engage with the world’s leading experts in gene editing law, patenting, and clinical regulation
🗺️ Access, IP Landscape and FTO
In Copenhagen, during the CRISPRMED26 Satellite Sessions on April 13th, we are deep diving into the legal hurdles of gene editing with global experts including Ulrich Storz, Franziska Bächler, Jacob S. Sherkow, Timo Minssen, and Kevin E. Noonan
The GenE-HumDi Panel: The afternoon concludes with a cross-disciplinary panel discussion featuring Meliha Negin and Leonardo Martin, bridging the gap between scientific innovation, patent protection, and regulatory approval.
📚Panel Discussion
The discussion panel was participated by experts and members interested in Gene Editing Patent(s) and IP. After the Satellite Session a working panel discussed freedom to operate in the genome editing field and protection of intellectual property¡, which is key to gain interest of mayor market stakeholders to become involved and secure commercial distribution of Medical advances.
