Science is evolving every day, but our DNA still stays the same. Changing DNA make up could stop diseases of the nervous system and the vital organs, but by time the defects are noticed it’s too late.

So how far away are we from manipulating DNA at the source, before we’re even alive? Not as far as you might think…
Staffordshire University’s senior lecturer of biological science, Gavin McStay presents a masterclass webinar on mitochondria and the future of three person babies. He discusses how defects in DNA can affect mitochondrial functions of our bodies, how science has advanced to a level where we are able to transplant DNA genetics in unborn children, and how it has already been experimented with under-the-radar.
Gavin will also highlight our taught and research postgraduate courses, including the distance learning Molecular Biology MSc.
