By Dr. Hamid Reza Edraki, RADOIR Managing Director

Vienna has always been the symbol of love and romanticism for me. How lucky I am, for the headquarters of Joint European Rare Diseases Society was located in the realm of music and timeless fine arts. The second reason for my happiness is the location of the European Radiology Association in the heart of Vienna. Eventually, the German language is another reason to remind me all the memories belonging to those days I was studying in Germany and Austria .

Genome Editing Might Be ‘Cure’ for Rare Diseases But Ethical Guidelines Needed, Panel Says

 ECRD 2018 – Should scientists have the right to edit the genes of future generations to eliminate hundreds, if not thousands, of potential rare diseases? Or should researchers restrict their use of genome editing to somatic cells, so that they don’t pass changes on to the next generation?
