Making an Impact in Research & Conservation | Kartzinel Lab

In 2025, the Kartzinel Lab redoubled our efforts to ensure our research translates into impact. We launched the Genomic Opportunities Lab as a hub to leverage our unique knowledge, skillsets, and networks for stronger gains in research and conservation.

This site provides centralized access to information about our impact via:

• Current conservation partnerships and programs that we run.
• Our Theory of Change: research driving conservation impacts.
• Annual Reports: transparent accounting of what we do. 

Below you'll discover a repository for recent conservation news and posts arising from our work.
