SUMMARY:Media Briefing on Use of Genetic Technology to Stop Spread of Mosquito and Tick- Borne Diseases
DESCRIPTION:Gene drives represent a new take on genetic engineering that offers previously impossible means of fighting disease-spreading insects and invasive species but also raises the specter of ecological disruption. SciLine’s live\, web-based video briefing will feature leading experts who can get you up to speed on the current status of gene-drive technology\, applications under consideration\, and related ethical\, legal\, and regulatory issues. The briefing will include an open Q&A for reporters. SciLine is funded by the American Association for the Advancement of Science. \nWHEN: April 25\, 1:30-2:30 p.m. EDT \nWHO: \n\n\nZach Adelman\, associate professor of entomology\, Texas A&M University \n\n\nAnthony James\, professor of microbiology and molecular genetics\, University of California\, Irvine \n\n\nJennifer Kuzma\, professor of social sciences and co-director of the Genetic Engineering and Society Center\, North Carolina State University \n\n\nRenee Wegrzyn\, Safe Genes program manager\, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency \n\n\nSciLine director Rick Weiss will moderate the briefing. \n\n\nHOW:  \nThe briefing is open only to members of the media. \nTo receive log-in or call-in information\, you must register in advance here. \nFor more information about gene drives and the media briefing: check our event page\, here. \n  \n
