    Tristan Arthur C. Bernales is a student in BS BIO 1B. He was asked to list what he knows about gene therapy and GMOs, and identify potential problems from innovations in these areas. Gene therapy aims to alter genes to correct genetic defects, prevent or cure genetic diseases, and enhance capabilities. However, safely delivering genes remains challenging. GMOs aim to enhance organismal capabilities but could negatively impact human health through nutritional changes, allergies, or side effects like toxicity.

    A gene can't easily be inserted


    directly into your cells. Rather,
    it usually has to be delivered
    using a carrier, called a vector.
    Gene Therapy

     Gene therapy seeks to alter genes to correct


    genetic defects The most common gene

     to bring people up to normalcy because they can recognize
    certain cells and carry genetic
    material into the cells' genes.
