We’ll be hosting the 2026 Reproductive Frontiers Summit at Lighthaven in Berkeley, CA, on June 16—18. Come join us if you want to learn, connect, think, and coordinate about the future of germline engineering technology. Very early bird tickets are available now until the end of March.

Who will be there?

Our lineup of speakers includes experts in the areas of polygenic prediction, embryo gene editing, in vitro gametogenesis, artificial wombs, ethics and regulation for advanced reproductive technology, and more. See the full list on the summit website: reproductivefrontiers.org.

We hope to welcome attendees who are:

scientists (new or established) who are interested in advanced reproductive technology or reprogenetics, especially experts or future experts in:
- stem cell biology, embryology, epigenetics of the germ line, bioinformatics, polygenic prediction of traits, editing methods (especially epigenetic editing and precision gene editing), ovarian culture, gametogenesis, chromosome dynamics and engineering, low-input *omics, single-cell microfluidics, and related topics;
experts on regulation and policy, financing, and public opinion around advanced reprotech;
bioethicists who want to use constructive critique to craft a practicable vision of widely beneficial germline engineering technology;
undergrads, grad students, and postdocs [...]
