Hybrid | Nadya Mamoozadeh, NC State University. Can precision genomics help save freshwater fish threatened by climate change? We’ll explore how genomic and climate data can inform difficult decisions about when and where to intervene, including efforts such as assisted migration and genetic rescue.
Hybrid | Khara Grieger, NC State University. This talk highlights USDA/NIFA-funded GES research on the societal implications of genetic engineering and nanotechnology in food and agriculture, drawing on stakeholder perspectives to inform responsible innovation.
Hybrid | Dr. Timothy Stinson, NC State University. What can genetics tell us about old books? This talk explores how next-generation sequencing and other biomolecular tools are opening exciting new frontiers in medieval manuscript studies.
Hybrid | Details forthcoming. Note the new location in 4305 Nelson Hall. The 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. GES 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. Remember, 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. Please subscribe to the GES newsletter and LinkedIn for updates.
Hybrid | J. Royden Saah, Foundation for the National Institutes of Health (FNIH). 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.
Hybrid | Carter Clinton, NC State University. Learn how burial soil genomics paired with descendant community partnership and bioethical data governance, can reconstruct buried histories and inform more equitable, socially accountable biomedical futures.
