Colossal Biosciences, the company who recently de-extincted the direwolf, and is working to de-extinct the woolly mammoth, thylacine, moa, and dodo, has announced a major expansion with the launch of its Australian headquarters and the appointment of world-renowned developmental biologist Dr. Andrew Pask as Chief Biology Officer.
Pask, who currently leads the Thylacine Integrated Genomic Restoration Research Lab (TIGGR) at the University of Melbourne, is recognized globally for his expertise in de-extinction science, developmental genetics, and conservation technologies. He has received international acclaim for his contributions to marsupial biology, including understanding their evolution and adaptation, and is one of the pioneers of de-extinction technologies. His lab has been a long-time partner of Colossal and will now formally integrate into the newly launched Colossal Australia under a new agreement with the University of Melbourne.
