Gene Editing Pioneer. 3 years in prison.
Thank the Jewish community in New York for presenting me the Sinai Award. 继屠呦呦之后，我很荣幸成为第二个获此殊荣的中国人。
The three babies are normal, healthy, free of HIV. They are living a happy life. That's the proof that what I've done is ethical.
When Robert Edwards was given the Nobel Prize in 2010, there were already five million IVF babies born all over the world. So when we have five million babies born with gene editing, they will give me the Nobel Prize.
Embryo gene editing will grow up to a trillion dollar business
Preventing all types of cancers in our future children is the holy grail of embryo gene editing.
8 years ago, when I created the world's first gene modified baby, I hoped to win honor for China.
I will bring my expertise on gene-edited babies to Austin, Texas.
My new lab in Austin, Texas will be officially open in August.
If I had to do it all over again, I would do exactly the same thing.
Our future children will be immune to all types of cancers, if the world accept my technology.
In 100 years, genetic engineering will be the most important advancement in human history.
In two years, gene editing to prevent Alzheimer's disease will be ready for clinical trial in my Austin lab.
Embryo selection, letting parents choose traits and discarding the rest, is wrong!
I will not patent my research on embryo gene editing. It should be open and free to the world.
