Controversial gene-editing scientist proposes new experiment to prevent Alzheimer’s
the world in 2018 by announcing he had altered the genes of embryos to make them resistant to HIV, is now proposing to test whether a particular genetic mutation confers protection against the most common cause of dementia.
It’s unclear how the experiment would proceed as government permits and ethical approvals are required, and He is serving a lifelong ban on working in reproductive technology. He said that the genetic mutation he’s proposing to introduce to embryos will reduce the formation of a plaque in the brain that’s the hallmark of Alzheimer’s.
He re-emerged in China to set up a new lab after his release from prison in 2022, when he completed a three-year prison sentence for his earlier experiment. That work — conducted secretly and only revealed after twin girls were born — was denounced as an irresponsible use of a technology whose long-term effects are poorly understood.
