Original: Colossal Biosciences Named 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair Winner for the Genomic Pipeline Behind Its Dire Wolf and Red Wolf Work - Colossal
Colossal Biosciences has been named the 2026 Gizmodo Science Fair winner, recognised for the genomic pipeline behind its dire wolf and red wolf projects. The Dallas-based de-extinction company drew attention last year for announcing the birth of engineered dire wolf-like wolves, and the award highlights the gene-editing and sequencing tools developed for that work as well as its efforts supporting endangered red wolf conservation.
Why now: The company's high-profile de-extinction claims continue to attract scientific and media scrutiny, and the new award is fresh news.
