Explore how genetic data is applied to conservation management and wildlife law enforcement to address challenges facing the sector. There is global recognition of the benefits of using genetic data to support wildlife conservation and management decisions. However, implementation of genetic approaches is still rare, partly due to a lack of personnel with the knowledge and skills to apply theoretical and practical population genetics to conservation practice.

Improving global food security and shifting to sustainable agriculture with technological advances are key to achieving sustainable development. Despite selective breeding tools being applied for thousands of years, their use now is more important than ever. They can help us address some of the biggest global challenges in the Anthropocene, especially food insecurity and resource depletion in a changing climate and environment.

Genomics is revolutionizing nearly every area of biomedical research and healthcare practice. SCU’s Master of Science in Human Genetics & Genomics (MSHGG) (Pending WSCUC approval) includes not only traditional genetics, but also the latest developments in genomics research, advanced diagnostic technologies, and gene editing.
