Judging synthetic biology risks

Year: 2015

Type: editorial

Abstract: Last month, the European Commission (EC) Scientific Committees issued a draft opinion on whether existing risk assessment methods are adequate for synthetic biology. This opinion, which was written by a Working Group of 20 experts from Europe and the United States, * could have a substantial impact on shaping European and global synthetic biology policy for years to come. It is open for public comment through 3 February 2015. †
