GeneConvene Global Collaborative | Considerations for the First Field Trials of Gene Drive for Malaria
Tags: Field trials, Gene drive, Malaria, Regulation, VideoGeneConvene Global Collaborative, YouTube, 2024.
A webinar organized by the GeneConvene Global Collaborative discussed the potential first field trials of gene drive technology for malaria control. This genetic modification approach aims to alter mosquito populations to reduce their ability to transmit malaria. While laboratory ...
GeneConvene Global Collaborative Webinar Series | Emerging Gene Drive Systems 2023
Tags: Agriculture, Arbovirus, Gene drive, Gene drive synthetic, Invasive species, WebinarDavid O'Brochta, 2023.
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 ...
GeneConvene Global Collaborative Webinar Series | Wolbachia Biology, Mechanisms and Applications 2022
Tags: Aedes, Cytoplasmic incompatibility, Dengue, Genetic biocontrol, Population modification/replacement, Population suppression, Webinar, WolbachiaDavid O'Brochta, GeneConvene Global Collaborative, 2022.
Intracellular and extracellular symbiotic/commensal bacteria have enormous potential when manipulated and deployed appropriately to serve as agents of control of insects and the pathogens they transmit. Wolbachia, an intracellular bacteria, is a well studied system and one that ...
