Gene Genies: Gene Editing by Filipino Scientists |
|
Awareness-building activities have been the cornerstone of knowledge-sharing and capacity-building initiatives of various organizations in the country. These activities aim to promote an enabling environment for biotechnological innovations. As part of the ongoing efforts to promote biotech, ISAAA Inc. collaborated with the Biotechnology Coalition of the Philippines (BCP) to organize a webinar series about gene editing and gene drive. The first webinar, titled Gene Genies: Gene Editing by Filipino Scientists, is scheduled on January 22, 2024, at 10:00 AM GMT+8, while the second webinar on gene drive is planned for February 2024. The pre-registration is now open to all public high schools in the Philippines. Each school may submit names of five students and one teacher as participants.
