Our Toxic Male Technique (TMT) paper is finally out! TMT males produce insecticidal semen to eliminate the female population. It's the first example of intragenerational genetic biocontrol. Use in mosquitoes could dramatically reduce bloodmeals.

1 more sleep until #CoESB24!
We're pleased to welcome Dr Maciej Maselko @SynBioNaut, co-founder of @EntoZyme to present an Industry Talk at #CoESB24
Dr Maciej Maselko is a research group leader in Applied BioSciences at @Macquarie_Uni and co-founder of EntoZyme, a Macquarie University startup developing black soldier flies as a synbio platform for sustainable #biomanufacturing. 🦟✨
📢 Talk Topic: Developing Black Soldier Flies for Sustainable Waste Management & Biomanufacturing
📅 Date: Thursday 5 December, 11:05 AM
📍 Event: CoESB Annual Conference 2024
See you all in Wollongong tomorrow! 👋

Predatory mites like Transeius montdorensis are important tools for integrated pest management. Check out our latest preprint where we improve their diet for mass rearing and lab research. Great work by PhD student Hung Nguyen!

Insects are great sources of protein for animal feed, but can we make them even better? Yes! Check out our preprint demonstrating the production of a functional phytase enzyme in Drosophila as a proof of principle

Check out our Allele Sail paper - a simple method to use genome editors for modification of wild populations. Applications include genetic rescue of threatened species, reducing the ability of vectors to spread disease, and making cane toads less toxic.
