This workshop on synthetic gene drives aims to gather biologists, ethicists, risk assessors, regulators and social scientists from various backgrounds to discuss interdisciplinary aspects of gene drives. It will feature various sessions: molecular biology, evolutionary ecology, theoretical models, risk assessment, ethical issues, governance and social issues.

The workshop will take place online on June 21-24, 2021. It features invited talks (20min talk+10min questions) and contributed talks (10min talk+5min questions). At the end of each day, we will have a one-hour open discussion among all participants. Two experts will select a few key outstanding questions in the field and lead the discussion.
