Department The aim of the lab, and of this project, is to use insect synthetic biology to develop new, safe, sustainable methods for reducing the harm caused by pest insects, particularly mosquitoes and mosquito-borne disease. This position is part of a Gates Foundation-funded project (to end of April 2030) to develop, through synthetic biology, ‘local’ gene drives in the mosquito Anopheles stephensi. RNA-guided gene drive elements could address many ecological problems by altering the traits o…
