CRISPR gene editing technology reached a milestone anniversary as Genetic Engineering News launched a new webinar series examining 25 years of genome editing advances. Professor Rodolphe Barrangou from North Carolina State University and editor-in-chief of The CRISPR Journal presented the inaugural keynote.

Barrangou provided perspectives on what the publication described as the "CRISPR revolution," covering seminal scientific advances that have shaped the field since its early development. The webinar addressed clinical highlights demonstrating the technology's transition from laboratory research to therapeutic applications.
