The Whereabouts of China’s Gene-Editing Doctor He Jiankui Remain Unknown

The whereabouts of He Jiankui, a Chinese scientist who claims to have created the world's first gene-edited babies, remain unknown after his former workplace refuted media reports that he was detained over the weekend.

A spokeswoman for China's Southern University of Science and Technology said that media reports of He's detention were inaccurate but added that the university would be unable to answer any further questions regarding the matter, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post reported.
