Vincent J. Lynch
Vincent J. Lynch is an associate professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University at Buffalo, SUNY, where he also serves as associate chair. He holds a PhD in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology from Yale University (2008) and researches the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying phenotypic differences between species, including the evolution of pregnancy and the genetics of long-lived, large-bodied animals. He has publicly criticized Colossal Biosciences' de-extinction efforts, arguing that the company produces genetically modified organisms rather than truly revived extinct species.
“Lynch has called Colossal's species labeling 'arrogant,' representing the academic community's pushback on whether Colossal's engineered animals constitute true de-extinction.”
