概要

 Recorded live from NC State’s GES Colloquium, this show explores how biotechnologies move from lab to life: microbiome engineering in buildings, CRISPR in agriculture and forestry, gene drives and integrated pest management, data governance and benefit-sharing, risk analysis and regulation, sci-art collaborations, and practical models of responsible innovation and public engagement. Episodes feature researchers, students, and community partners in candid conversations about decisions, trade-offs, and impacts.

    S13E3 - Royden Saah - Gene Drive Governance Through a One Health Lens
    2026/02/11
    Recorded from NC State’s GES Colloquium, this podcast examines how biotechnologies take shape in the world: microbiome engineering in built environments, gene editing and gene drives, forest and agricultural genomics, data governance and equity, risk and regulation, sci-art, and public engagement in practice. Gene Drive Research Forum: Convening Evidence, Governance, and Dialogue Through a One Health Lens Nelson 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. This 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.

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. 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.

  • S13E2 - Jean Cadigan on the ethical governance of human genome editing

    S13E2 - Jean Cadigan on the ethical governance of human genome editing
    2026/02/03
    Recorded from NC State’s GES Colloquium, this podcast examines how biotechnologies take shape in the world: microbiome engineering in built environments, gene editing and gene drives, forest and agricultural genomics, data governance and equity, risk and regulation, sci-art, and public engagement in practice. _________ Governing Genome Editing at the Boundaries: Empirical Insights from Human Health Applications *Zoom* Only | Drawing on empirical research on human genome editing, this talk examines how ethical questions around enhancement, disease seriousness, and governance are negotiated in practice, with implications beyond human health. This talk draws on empirical research on human genome editing to examine how ethical boundaries around enhancement, disease seriousness, and governance are understood and negotiated in practice. Focusing on how scientists, clinicians, and policy professionals make sense of emerging genome‑editing technologies, the presentation highlights tensions between categorical policy distinctions and the context‑sensitive judgments required under conditions of uncertainty and clinical urgency. Rather than treating ethical boundaries as fixed or purely normative, the findings illustrate how they are shaped through anticipatory reasoning, institutional constraints, and efforts to act responsibly in the face of incomplete knowledge. Although grounded in human health applications, this analysis offers insights relevant to broader debates about responsible innovation and the governance of genetic engineering across domains.

Cadigan (PI) Download seminar poster Jean Cadigan, PhD Professor at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill | Profile Jean Cadigan, PhD, is a Professor of Social Medicine at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill whose work focuses on the ethical, legal, and social implications of emerging genomic technologies. A medical anthropologist, she conducts empirical research on how scientists, clinicians, policymakers, and publics understand and navigate ethical boundaries in areas such as human genome editing and genomic medicine. She recently led an NIH‑funded study, “Incidental Enhancement: Addressing a Neglected Policy Issue in Human Genome Editing,” which investigated how concerns about enhancement arise in the context of ostensibly therapeutic genome‑editing interventions. She is delighted to be affiliated with GES through PreMiEr’s Social and Ethical Implications (SEI) research focus.

  • S13E1 - Catching Up on the CRISPR Craze with Rodolphe Barrangou

    S13E1 - Catching Up on the CRISPR Craze with Rodolphe Barrangou
    2026/01/21
    Recorded from NC State’s GES Colloquium, this podcast examines how biotechnologies take shape in the world: microbiome engineering in built environments, gene editing and gene drives, forest and agricultural genomics, data governance and equity, risk and regulation, sci-art, and public engagement in practice. _________ Catching up with the CRISPR Craze Nelson 4305 + Zoom | Deploying and commercializing genome editing technologies: challenges, opportunities, and implications of disruptive technologies The advent of CRISPR-based technologies has revolutionized our ability to manipulate the genetic content of organisms across the tree of life and democratized genome editing across the globe. Repurposed from obscure adaptive immune systems in bacteria, CRISPR molecular machines have been broadly deployed in academia and industry in the past 10 years to manipulate the genomes of organisms relevant to medicine, biotechnology, and agriculture. We now have access to a portable CRISPR toolbox enabling flexible editing from a single nucleotide to large-scale genome manipulation in organisms that span minimalistic viruses to large trees and their corresponding genome range and complexities. So far, most applications focus on the design of efficacious and safe gene and cell therapies to address human disease. Yet, there are un(der)-appreciated opportunities to deploy genome editing modalities for sustainable agriculture, to enhance crops (yield and traits), but also livestock, trees, and organisms used throughout the food supply chain. There is a path to next-generation therapies by 2030, sustainable agriculture by 2040, and breeding healthier forests by 2050. Besides the technical bottlenecks, it is also necessary to account for regulatory frameworks, intellectual property pursuit, public engagement, ethical deployment, consumer acceptance, and geopolitical issues impacting our practical ability to harness genome editing to address medical, agricultural, and environmental challenges that require such disruptive technologies.
