Webinar Series:
Controlling Gene Drives
September 22, 29, October 6
11 am- 12:30pm (Washington, D.C.)
Some gene drive technologies being explored in the laboratory for possible use in the control and elimination of malaria in Africa are predicted to efficiently spread and persist indefinitely following their initial release into an environment containing the targeted mosquito species. While the autonomous properties of some gene drive technologies are desirable features that are expected to make them effective at controlling hard to reach populations of targeted mosquitoes and to provide sustained control with minimal additional inputs, the ability to control spread and persistence remains important. This series of webinars will feature researchers and developers exploring various control options for gene drive technologies.
