Gene drive mosquitoes for malaria control

Date: Monday 29th April

Time: 18:30 - 20:30

Location: Workshop, Exeter Pheonix Gandy St, Exeter EX4 3LS

OVERVIEW

Gene drive mosquitoes is a short documentary film that is beautifully shot in Uganda and explores Ugandan stakeholders’ hopes and concerns for gene drive mosquitoes – a radical new tool that offers a way to eliminate the mosquitoes that cause malaria. Uganda could be one of the first countries in the world to trial this technology in the wild and malaria is the main cause of death in Uganda, so the stakes are high. The film builds on social science research at the University of Exeter and Makerere University in Uganda and shows the complexity of governing gene drive mosquitoes.
