Synthetic Biology

Graduate Institute What Matters Today

Climate change has been at the forefront of environmental discussions lately, but there are other aspects of the environmental crisis, one of the most significant being biodiversity loss. Bill Adams is the Claudio Segré Chair of Conservation and Development as well as Visiting Professor of the Interdisciplinary Programme here at the Institute. He was previously the Moran Professor of Conservation and Development at the University of Cambridge. In his recent publication, Strange Natures, he examines conservation efforts in an era where synthetic biology is becoming established.
