Our Technology

Oxitec’s Friendly™ technology uses advanced genetics to create self-limiting insects that reduce pest populations without chemicals or environmental persistence.

How It Works

We release Friendly™ males that mate with wild females. Their offspring inherit a self-limiting gene, preventing them from surviving to adulthood.

Safe & Targeted

Only the target species is affected. No chemicals. No long-term environmental impact. The solution is species-specific and self-limiting.

Scalable Impact

From urban dengue control to large-scale crop protection, our technology is designed for real-world deployment across diverse environments.
