Gene drive systems are being engineered in the laboratory and in some cases shown to be effective at rapidly altering target-gene frequencies in experimental populations. Much of this foundational work has been conducted in insects in the laboratory. This webinar series will focus on emerging potential applications of gene drive technology in a wide variety of organisms. These webinars are intended to inform audiences of the rationale for these development efforts, the current state of research and development and outstanding challenges.
