GeneConvene Global Collaborative Webinar Series

Engineered Gene Drives: State of Research
September 9,16,23,30, October 7, 14
11 am- 12:30pm
(Washington, D.C. -GMT -5)

This is a series of public scientific and technical seminars by researchers actively involved in the research and development of engineered gene drive and related systems. Presentations will be aimed at other researchers and scientists, highlighting the latest investigations in this area of applied genetics.  All are welcome.

Presentations are 45-50 minutes followed by questions and answers.

Not a convenient time? Webinars will be recorded and promptly posted on the GeneConvene Virtual Institute and questions will be taken for 48 hours after the initial presentation. The speaker’s responses will be attached to the original presentation.
