Genome BC invites you to participate in a lively discussion on “gene doping”. We have all heard about chemical doping or steroids in sports but is gene doping the next evolution? Can “natural” athletic talent be manufactured?

Panelists:
- Dr. Joseph de Pencier, former Director, Ethics and Anti-Doping Services & General Counsel, Canadian Centre for Ethics in Sport;
- Dr. Jim Rupert, Associate Professor in Human Kinetics at UBC;

There will be a Q&A session between the panel and the audience immediately after the presentation.
