A Plea for the Renewal of the ISBR

摘要

The recent meeting of the International Society for Biosafety Research (ISBR) focused on so-called genetically modified organisms.

The ISBR should instead adopt a scientifically defensible and truly risk-based perspective, abandoning a misleading pseudo-category.
