Register: Environmental Monitoring Considerations For Gene Drive Modified Mosquitoes
Tags: Genetically modified mosquitoesGeneConvene, 2025.
GeneConvene’s new webinar series on environmental monitoring for gene drive-modified mosquitoes begins April 23. This webinar series will highlight potential methods and protocols for environmental safety monitoring following the release of gene drive-modified mosquitoes for control of malaria in Africa. Presentations will describe current work to understand the role of target mosquito vectors in the local ecosystem and how new genomics tools can be applied to advance this effort.
The webinar series will provide developers and regulators with knowledge that can aid in effective design and review of monitoring strategies for field trials of gene drive-modified mosquitoes, and will also appeal to members of the broader scientific community with interest in genetic biocontrol and ecology. The webinars will take place weekly on Wednesday at 11am EST through June 4. You can learn more and register for one or more of the upcoming webinars here.
