Description
Natalie Kofler is a trained molecular biologist and the founding director of Editing Nature at Yale University, a global initiative to steer responsible development and deployment of environmental genetic technologies. Her work navigates the technical, ecological, and ethical complexity of gene-editing applications designed to impact wild species, such as CRISPR-edited mosquitos to prevent malaria transmission, genetic strategies to eliminate invasive species, or the use of CRISPR gene-editing to promote species resiliency to changing climates. In this podcast episode, Natalie sheds light on what role gene-editing can play in environmental conservation; what the ethics and moralities are of changing the DNA of nonhuman species; why inclusivity is vital in the development and application of gene-editing technologies; and more.
