Gene Editing in the Pork Industry

December 20, 2022

Join Swine Innovation Porc in Banff for an afternoon of Networking, Learning and Discussion

Date: January 10, 2023
Time: 1:30pm – 4:00pm
Location: Fairmont Hotel, Banff

Let’s talk about pork innovation ahead of the Banff Pork Seminar

We’re bringing together leading experts to discuss rapid advancements in gene editing while exploring possible future applications and considerations for the pork sector. For example, could gene editing ever be used to support wild boar control or African swine fever, how would it work, and what should be considered at the outset from a public trust and regulatory perspective? How is gene editing already being used in other industries and is the pork sector willing, ready and able to use this technology?

Panelists include:

Dr. Ray Lu, University of Guelph
Topic: Gene Editing in the Pork Industry

Dr. Vilceu Bordignon, University of McGill
Topic: Successes and Opportunities with Gene Editing

Dr. Stuart Smyth, University of Saskatchewan
Topic: Ethics, Regulators and the Public
