White Paper: Status of Biotech Research and Development in Thailand
February 20, 2009| |
The challenges facing biotechnology in the years ahead are not just scientific and technological but also relate to matters of public policy and public perception. Thailand has put much effort into ensuring that biotechnology is practiced within the country in a sustainable and safe manner. Through consultations with international partners, it has put in place the required infrastructure and capacity to support a sound, science based policy and regulatory framework. Decisions made by the relevant authorities concerning the use of modern biotechnology are being taken with full public participation and scrutiny.
