Biography

I lead a number of research projects on the politics of biotechnology with a focus on gene drive governance. Over the last 15 years, I’ve worked on gene drive and GM mosquitoes and other insects, gene drive and GM animals and GM crops.

I employ qualitative methods and an interpretive approach to understand the way in which we govern emerging technologies in Europe, Africa, North and South America, and Australasia.

I work closely with a broad range of stakeholders including natural scientists, NGOs, regulators and policymakers.

I’m funded by the British Academy, Wellcome, UKRI and GCRF.

Expertise

Gene drive, governance, emerging technologies, regulation, knowledge co-production.
