This is a short miscellaneous list of projects that I think would help accelerate germline engineering. This isn't prioritized or comprehensive or anything—it's not the most important projects, but rather just some projects that have occurred to me. Happy to chat with anyone interested.

Project headlines:

  • Deregulation suggestions (law and policy).

  • Iterated selection scheduling (math/CS problem).

  • Can genomic vectoring have large effects? (bioinformatics/genetics)

  • Power of recombinant chromosome selection (math/CS).

  • Understanding public interest in reprogenetics.

  • Understanding the regulatory landscape around reprogenetics.

  • Educating the public about reprogenetics.

Project details:

At the moment, the US government is calling for deregulation suggestions: https://www.regulations.gov/deregulation. If there's someone who understands how the US Code of Federal Regulations works, and would be up for making a couple submissions, one or two of the policy recommendations here, e.g. CITES [...]
