Perception and Communication. This work establishes an international and interdisciplinary network of excellent researchers at the beginning
of their careers, who brilliantly integrate their work into the different perspectives on gene therapy from the natural and social sciences,
as well as the humanities and law.
Audience:
Practicing scientists, graduate students, academic clinicians who want to understand more about the ethical issues of gene therapy.
