Alessandra Biffi went into gene therapy by chance. A professor of haematology noticed her during her medical degree and invited her to do her thesis work in his laboratory. Back then she was just a student; now she is a world-leading expert in gene therapy, a therapeutic approach altering a person’s DNA to treat or prevent certain conditions.

She joins Euronews Tech Talks to discuss the state of gene therapy, what it means to use this technology to treat patients, and how AI is changing this field.

In the summer of 2026, two academic studies revived the debate on embryo gene editing, a technique that consists of manipulating the DNA of a human embryo for reasons ranging from better understanding human development to preventing children from developing diseases. How safe is this practice? Will there soon be gene-edited babies? Is it even ethically correct to modify an embryo?

We discuss these questions with Robin Lovell-Badge, head of the laboratory of stem cell biology and developmental genetics at the Francis Crick Institute; Björn Heindryckx, professor at Ghent University and PI coordinating research in the infertility department; Pascal Borry, professor of bioethics at the University of Leuven; and Euronews’ health reporter Marta Iraola Iribarren.

Host: James Thomas; Author and producer: Alice Carnevali; Sound editor: Johan Breton.
