Responsibly Developing Gene Drives: The GeneConvene Global Collaborative
J. Toomey,
Bill of Health,
2021.
The GeneConvene Global Collaborative, a project of the Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, was started this past July to promote the responsible development and regulation of gene drive technologies. It brings together researchers, regulators and stakeholders around the world to develop best practices for gene drive research and implementation. Because of my prior writing on this topic, I participated in GeneConvene’s fall webinar series and spoke with scientists there about the project. Debates about the regulation of gene drives are unique in several respects, because the technology is unique in several respects.
