SUMMARY:Kristen Landreville - Societal and Ethical Implications in Research of Microbiome Engineering in the Built Environment | GES Colloquium (Hybrid)
DESCRIPTION:FALL SEMINAR SERIES\nSocietal and Ethical Implications in Research of Microbiome Engineering in the Built Environment\nHybrid: Biltmore 2006 + Zoom | Dr. Landreville will present research on public perceptions\, concerns\, and hopes of microbiome engineering to improve the health of indoor spaces\, including public opinion of genetically engineered microbes. \nWhat do people think about using genetically engineered microbes in their homes to prevent mold or reduce pathogens in their kitchen sink? To what extent does the public support introducing microbiomes into hospital sinks to reduce hospital-acquired infections? What are some societal and ethical implications of these emerging technologies? In her talk\, Dr. Landreville will present research that addresses these questions using data from public opinion surveys\, qualitative interviews\, and home observations. She will also discuss the responsible research and innovation framework\, principles\, and practices that PreMiEr (Precision Microbiome Engineering Research) employs in its research. The goal of her presentation is to provide the audience with knowledge about the extent to which the public thinks about the health of their indoor environments as related to microbes and the extent to which the public is willing to consider microbiome engineering and genetically engineered microbes to improve the health of their homes\, hospitals\, and other indoor spaces. \nRelated links: \n\nNatural vs. genetically engineered microbiomes: understanding public attitudes for indoor applications and pathways for future engagement\nTaking the temperature of the United States public regarding microbiome engineering\nSocietal and Ethical Implications of Microbiome Engineering of the Built Environment Workshop 2024\nSocietal and Ethical Implications of Microbiome Engineering of the Built Environment Symposium 2025\nPrecision Microbiome Engineering Research Center\nDownload seminar graphic\n\nDr. Kristen Landreville\, PhD\nSenior Research Scholar at NC State University | Profile \nKristen D. Landreville\, PhD\, is a Senior Research Scholar at North Carolina State University\, where she leads social science and public engagement research as part of the Societal and Ethical Implications (SEI) Core in the PreMiEr Engineering Research Center. She collaborates with teams across five universities to investigate public understanding of microbiomes of the built environment\, such as fungal mold in households along coastal towns. Broadly\, Kristen is a social scientist with experience in both quantitative and qualitative research methods. She uses her expertise in communication\, media\, psychology\, and political science to study public attitudes and behaviors surrounding science\, the environment\, health\, and risk. \n\nThe Genetic Engineering and Society (GES) Colloquium is a seminar series that brings in speakers to present and stimulate discussion on a variety of topics related to existing and proposed biotechnologies and their place within broader societal changes. \nGES Colloquium is jointly taught by Drs. Katie Barnhill and Nourou Barry\, and the seminars serve as a great opportunity for our students to build their networks and grow as professionals. To support their efforts\, we encourage you to join our in-person seminars\, which will now take place in Biltmore 2006. \nRemember\, we regularly post colloquium seminars as videos on Panopto and on our GES Lectures podcast\, allowing you to revisit or catch up on these recordings at your convenience. \nPlease subscribe to the GES newsletter and LinkedIn for updates.
