SUMMARY:J. Royden Saah - Gene Drive Research Forum: Convening Evidence\, Governance\, and Dialogue Through a One Health Lens | GES Colloquium [Hybrid]
DESCRIPTION:Colloquium Home | Zoom Registration | GES Colloquium Videos | Colloquium Podcast | LinkedIn | Newsletter | Publications Podcast \nSPRING SEMINAR SERIES\nGene Drive Research Forum: Convening Evidence\, Governance\, and Dialogue Through a One Health Lens\nNelson 4305 + Zoom | Learn how GeneConvene’s Gene Drive Research Forum brings together cross-sector expertise and dialogue to strengthen decision-making and responsible governance for gene drive and related genetic biocontrol approaches. \nJoin us for lunch after colloquium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nThis colloquium will introduce GeneConvene’s Gene Drive Research Forum as an interdisciplinary convening platform that strengthens responsible research and decision-making on gene drive and related genetic biocontrol approaches through a One Health lens. The presentation will show how GeneConvene—and the Forum in particular—integrates evidence from the life sciences\, social sciences\, ethics\, and regulatory practice to inform governance and support meaningful dialogue among researchers\, public health practitioners\, environmental stakeholders\, and communities. We will review the Forum’s core activities and share emerging lessons on translating complex evidence into accessible\, context-sensitive insights that can inform policy and practice. \nRelated links: \n\nGeneConvene\nLinkedIn\nDownload seminar poster\n\nMr. J. Royden Saah\, MS\nSenior Technical Expert at GeneConvene/Foundation for the National Institutes of Health | Profile \nJ. Royden Saah is a global health and biosafety leader with more than two decades of experience building pandemic preparedness\, infectious disease response\, and research-to-operations programs in the U.S. and internationally. He currently serves as a Senior Technical Expert at FNIH’s GeneConvene. He came to the foundation after coordinating the Genetic Biocontrol of Invasive Rodents program at Island Conservation\, supporting a multi-institution\, multinational network developing novel biotechnologies for vector and pest management. His prior roles include senior leadership at the North Carolina State Laboratory of Public Health and international outbreak response deployments\, including COVID-19 and the West African Ebola epidemic. He holds a BS in Zoology and an MS in Microbiology\, both from North Carolina State University. \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 taught by Dr. Zack Brown\, 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 Nelson 4305. \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.
