Colossal - Conservation meets Biotechnology
At Colossal Biosciences, I explore how biotechnology and conservation intersect — and how innovation can redefine what it means to protect species. My research examines the policy and ethics behind de-extinction and genetic conservation, connecting legal frameworks with ecological responsibility. It’s a space where science meets imagination, and where the future of biodiversity depends on thoughtful, responsible progress.

The dodo ruled the roost on its native island of Mauritius—and nowhere else—until meeting an untimely demise. Because in the late 17th century, man brought an abrupt end to the dodo species. Today, Colossal is committed to bringing it back.

“We have a duty to heal our planet, and to sustain it for future generations. With creativity, caution, and consultation, ethical use of modern genetic technologies can help stabilize ecosystems while bringing the animals and plants who share our planet back from the brink of extinction.”
