Vision 2020 - Gene Targeting in the 21st Century: Mouse Models of Human Disease from Cancer to Psychiatric Disorders

To celebrate the inaugural year of the EMBL Advanced Training Centre and to set the stage for what the EMBL hopes will be decades of exceptional scientific presentations, the EMBL hosted a unique series of forward-looking scientific lectures by world leaders in their fields, called “Vision 2020”. Nobel laureates were invited to share their vision of the future of their field with an audience of scientists from different areas of the life sciences and interested members of the public. The speakers shared their thoughts on where their field currently stands and which exciting new developments and possible breakthroughs they saw shaping this field within the next 10 years.
