  1. Welcome To the Edinburgh University Young Scientific Researchers Association

  2. Line up:Introduction – Nicholas Groth Merrild The Large Hadron Collider – Professor Franz Muheim Principia Scientifica (Genetic Manipulation) – Elena Mogosvs David Peberdy

  3. The Large Hadron Collider at CERN By: Professor Franz Muheim

  4. Principia ScientificaGenetic Manipulation Elena Mogosvs David Peberdy

  5. Gene manipulation To what extent can it be used? Elena Mogos

  6. It can be dangerous for the environment Nature is very complex and a small change may have unknown consequences

  7. Can cause disappearance of the animals(or crops) with no economical interest • Organic farming can become redundant

  8. Moral issues to be considered • Animals should be treated with respect and dignity

  9. Religious people may be irritated by the idea

  10. Can even have catastrophic results • Super-weeds, monsters, viruses, ill-making organisms

  11. Thank you!

  12. Genetic Manipulation

  13. Vitamin A deficiency and Golden Rice

  14. Bacteria • Insulin production from genetically manipulated bacteria • Production of antibiotics • Also clotting factors, hGH, vaccines etc

  15. Not Germline • Designer babies, and inheritable genetic manipulation... A problem for the future

  16. But Somatic Gene Therapy • X linked severe combined immunodeficiency – ‘bubble boy’. First successfully treated; 1990 •  Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) –Cognitive decline and adrenal failure. First successfully treated; 2010 • Parkinsons disease – Cognitive decline. First successfully treated; 2010 • Leber's congenital amaurosis – Blindness. First successfully treated; 2008
