SUMMARY:Sumit Dhole - The missing ecology in gene drive research | GES Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Video Library (current) | Video Archives | Podcast | @GESCenterNCSU | Newsletter \nThe missing ecology in gene drive research\nDr. Sumit Dhole\, Research Scholar in Mathematical Biology\, NC State\nLinkedIn | Google Scholar \nA discussion about some of the ecological aspects of population suppression using gene drives\, and areas that need more research. \nAbstract\nGene drives are rapidly emerging as a potential tool for controlling populations of disease vectors\, invasive species and agricultural pests. The molecular research to create new and improved gene drives based on the CRISPR technology has progressed rapidly. While this research has been encouraging from the perspective of developing these tools\, there remain large gaps in our understanding of how natural populations would respond to the release of gene drives. Dr. Dhole will discuss some of the ecological processes that will play an important role and that need more research in natural pest populations. \nRelated links: \n\nRajagopalan PK\, Curtis CF\, Brooks GD\, Menon PK.

For the past few years at NC State his focus has been on understanding how synthetic gene drives might behave if introduced into natural populations. While gene drives\, which are highly invasive genetic constructs\, may provide a solution for rapid and species-specific management of disease vectors and agricultural pests\, a major concern is the potential of their unchecked spread to non-target populations. Through his work\, Sumit tries to understand what factors and design features may allow synthetic gene drives to spread in safe\, contained manners. \n\nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Dawn Rodriguez-Ward and Jen Baltzegar\, who you may contact with any class-specific questions. As conditions allow\, colloquium will be held in-person in Poe 202\, as well as live-streamed via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Centering Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion | MBTP Faculty Mentors
DESCRIPTION:Centering Diversity\, Equity\, and Inclusion (DEI) in Mentoring Graduate Students\n*Note: The MBTP Faculty Mentors workshop series is restricted to NC State faculty involved in the NIH Molecular Biotechnology Training Program.\nWhat do diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI) mean in the context of mentoring? How do we address and acknowledge our own unconscious biases even as we lead our labs toward DEI practices? In this workshop we will move beyond awareness training to consider how faculty can model and facilitate behavior that promotes DEI. We will hear from two faculty who have thought deeply and developed strategies in this area. \nFacilitators\n\n                \n                \n                            \n                            \n                    \n        \n\n                                        \n\n\n\n        \n            Dr. Martha Burford Reiskind is a Research Assistant Professor in Biological Sciences and Director of the Genetics & Genomics Scholars Graduate program. email | profile        \n            \n            Dr. Joseph L.
