DESCRIPTION:CRISPR is poised to have a revolutionary impact on patients’
  lives. Over 6\,000 human diseases are caused by mutations in a single gen
 e. These are potentially amenable to 'curative' CRISPR medicine. Dr Russel
 l will describe the technology which has taken the scientific community by
  storm\, and explore its wide and\, often\, unexpected applications\, incl
 uding a discussion on the world’s first CRISPR babies born in China. He 
 will then describe how medical professionals are using the technology\, in
