Horizontal Gene Transfer and Environmental Release of Engineered Microbes with Kiara Reyes Gamas
About this episode
This episode features a discussion on horizontal gene transfer and the environmental release of engineered microbes with Kiara Reyes Gamas.
On this episode of The Climate Biotech Podcast, Paul Reginato is joined by Kiara Reyes Gamas, environmental synthetic biologist and non-resident postdoctoral scholar at Rice University's Baker Institute. Alongside her bench science, she has consistently engaged with the social and governance dimensions of synthetic biology, which shapes how she thinks about engineering microbes for environmental release. Much of Kiara’s work has focused on horizontal gene transfer, the process by which microb...
