Gene drive is a gene editing tool that is rapidly advancing as scientists investigate further its potentials to address concerns related to agriculture, the environment, and even human health. To help the public understand it better, ISAAA and its network of Biotechnology Information Centers, in partnership with the Outreach Network for Gene Drive Research, launched the four-part Gene Drive Webinar Series. Gene drive experts were invited to talk about the technology and how it can help conserve biodiversity during the first two sessions of the series.
