Gene Drive Modified Organisms and Practical Considerations for Environmental Risk Assessment
The ILSI Research Foundation’s first annual scientific symposium in Washington DC will be held on July 19 and we hope you can join us. Co-organized with the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, Gene Drive Modified Organisms and Practical Considerations for Environmental Risk Assessment will explore how to frame and undertake environmental risk assessments of gene drive organisms in a way that will usefully inform decision-making related to their potential release.
