De-extinctionCan human driven extinction be reversed?
Repairing our world one species at a time
Modern science can help us to turn the tide on global mass extinction.
What we do
The purpose of the Genetic Rescue Foundation is to advance the scientific techniques required to prevent species extinction through genetic intervention. We help talented scientists working on relevant projects to obtain funding and to connect with collaborators and institutions that will expedite their research.
Cutting edge science
Thanks to our partner Science Exchange we're able to connect participating researchers with the world's best labs.
Elegant technology
Technological advancement is at the center of everything we do. We provide robust, modern technical solutions that further optimize the efficiency of our participating researchers.
Empowered Community
The science of genetic rescue cannot be advanced without the participation of talented scientists. Our goal is to empower our community to make meaningful scientific breakthroughs by facilitating access to quality equipment, funding and collaborators.
Agile philosophy
We believe in Agile Methodology. Through small incremental improvements and by remaining open to a rapidly changing research landscape we will help drive scientific innovation.
Core values of The Genetic Rescue Foundation
Collaboration
We want to help bring together talented people. We will do all we can to help foster collaboration.
Efficiency
We want scientists to make breakthroughs. We aim to help them focus on science by helping to take care of other time consuming distractions like finding funding and equipment.
Integrity
We are motivated by empirical, reproducible results not publications. We believe negative experimental results have value and promote independent reproducibility of experimental results through our partnership with The Reproducibility Initiative.
