GeneConvene Global Collaborative
Genetic Biocontrol Technologies — advancing best practices and informed decision making
The GeneConvene Global Collaborative advances best practices and informed decision-making in the development of genetic biocontrol technologies to improve public health. GeneConvene offers technical information, advice, training and coordination for research on gene drive and other genetic biocontrol technologies.
The GeneConvene team is experienced with important technical, regulatory and policy issues.
GeneConvene currently focuses on exploration of the potential of gene drive technologies to combat mosquito-borne diseases, particularly malaria transmission by Anopheles mosquitoes in Africa. Contact us to support these activities or to discuss opportunities for GeneConvene to address other potential applications of genetic biocontrol technologies for public health.
