So impressed and glad to see so many #womeninmalaria leading the change in vector control and #malaria eradication
#PAMCA2022 Pamca_WIVC

Co-lead authors George Christophides and
Nikolai Windbichler have published results on a method to engineer mosquitoes that stunts the growth of parasites. Paired with gene drive it is a potentially vital tool in the fight against #Malaria

On Oct 24-28, African Genetic Biocontrol Consortium will host an Institutional Biosafety Committees Forum (IBC-FORUM) for African stakeholders evaluating genetic biocontrol technologies like #genedrive through their organizations' research & regulatory frameworks. Nominate here: bit.ly/3B5VZTD

To reduce #malaria , researchers edited mosquito #genetics to prevent growth of the parasite in their guts, which may be combined with a #GeneDrive to spread the trait in the wild, explains Ben Coxworth

This morning, RBM Partnership Interim CEO Corine K
joined partners to open the 8th the #PAMCA2022 Conference on the theme 'Harnessing local institutional and community support for the elimination of vector borne diseases', taking place in Kigali 🇷🇼 WHO Rwanda IVCC

New from World Health Organization (WHO): The 'Global guidance framework for the responsible use of the life sciences,' which aims to provide values, principles, tools & mechanisms to help Member States and key stakeholders mitigate and prevent biorisks and govern dual-use research. bit.ly/3BQ4ySS

ICYMI: African Genetic Biocontrol Consortium shared highlights from their recent workshop on risk assessment for genetic biocontrol with a group of African biosafety regulators. Watch now for insights from experts Dr Willy K. Tonui & CSIRO's Jeffrey Dambacher: bit.ly/3BkVTGw
