Since the Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui was released from prison in 2022, he has sought to make a scientific comeback and to repair his reputation after a three-year incarceration for illegally creating the world’s first gene-edited children. While he has bounced between cities, jobs, and meetings with investors, one area of visible success on his come-back trail has been his X.com account, @Jiankui_He, which has become his main way of spread…See the Story

«China's Frankenstein» Plans Comeback with His Wife – She's Not an Unknown Person

For his experiments on embryos, He Jiankui had to be detained for three years in China. Now he announces new experiments. Shortly thereafter, his wife is denied entry. He Jiankui, now 41 years old, came to questionable fame overnight in 2018 when he publicly declared that he had carried out a precisionless experiment: He wanted to immunize two human twin embryos against HIV by means of germline therapy.

Introduction: A Brave New World?In 2018, Chinese scientist He Jiankui shocked the world by announcing the birth of the first genetically edited babies—twin girls allegedly resistant to HIV. The backlash was swift: scientists condemned the experiment as reckless, governments called for stricter regulations, and ethicists warned of a slippery slope toward "designer babies."Yet, this was just the beginning.With breakthroughs like CRISPR-Cas9, IVF g…He Jiankui Read Article

Rogue Scientist Who Gene-Hacked Human Babies Gear Up for More Human Experiments

Coverage: 2 sources

That rogue scientist who created HIV-resistant designer babies is apparently gearing up for more human gene-editing research. In an interview with the Wall Street Journal, He Jiankui said he wants to conduct human trials on his next big project: encoding genetics to prevent Alzheimer's disease, a heritable illness, in future generations. He identified South Africa, where the government declared in 2024 that it's open to the "significant potentia…He Jiankui See the Story

Gene editing with adeno-associated virus vector offers hope for hereditary deafness

An R75W mutation in the gap junction β2 (GJB2) gene causes severe fragmentation of gap junction plaques, connecting adjacent cells and leading to syndromic hearing loss. In a new experimental study, scientists from Juntendo University in collaboration with researchers from the University of Tokyo have developed an adeno-associated virus (AAV) vector-mediated genome editing approach to repair the R75W mutation.He Jiankui See the Story

Back in 2019, Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui proudly announced to the world that he had created two genetically edited human babies, fully expecting a round of applause and three cheers of “Hip Hip Hooray.” Instead, everyone booed him and he got thrown in prison for three years. He’s since been released from prison, though it doesn’t seem like he’s learned any lessons from his stint in the clink. This was demonstrated by a post on Twitter/X whe…He Jiankui · Shenzhen See the Story
