Priorities in Biotechnology Research for International Development. Proceedings of a Workshop Held in Washington, DC and Berkeley Springs, West Virginia on July 26-30, 1982

摘要

In response to worldwide interest in the potential of biotechnology, the Agency for International Development asked BOSTID to convene a workshop. Scientists and policy-level planners were brought together to review the state of the art in their respective disciplines and to recommend priorities in biotechnology research for international programs in agriculture, health and energy. Logistical considerations as well as considerations such as time frame for application to developing countries and the appropriateness for AID's and other donors' development objectives caused the participants to limit their discussions to recommendations on the following topics: vaccines, animal production, monoclonal antibodies, energy, biological nitrogen fixation, and plant cell and tissue culture.
