Abstract/Description
The PIM-supported Program for Biosafety Systems (PBS) assisted four African countries in developing oversight guidelines for genome editing that accurately reflect the science and evolving regulatory trends for this game-changing, Nobel-prize winning technology. This outcome capitalizes on PBS’s nearly two decades of technical assistance aimed at enhancing the skills of decision makers in agricultural biotechnology regulations.
