S13E9 - Nadya Mamoozadeh on Genomic Vulnerability and Selective Intervention

About this episode

This episode explores how precision genomics can aid in the conservation of freshwater fish threatened by climate change.

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. ________ Genomic Vulnerability and Selective Intervention: Navigating Climate Adaptation in Freshwater Fisheries Nelson 4305 + Zoom | Can precision genomics help save freshwater fish threatened by climate change? We’ll explore how genomic and climate data can inform difficult decisions about when and where to intervene, including efforts such as assisted migration and genetic rescue. Freshwater fishes worldwide are facing unprecedented threats from rising water temperatures, shifting hydrological regimes, and declining habitat quality and availability. As climate change accelerates, traditional conservation strategies may no longer suffice to prevent widespread population declines. Precision genomics offers a potentially transformative toolkit to assess climate vulnerability and guide active interventions, yet the transition from molecular data to management action remains a…
