Workshop Tackles Policy Considerations for Gene Editing in Asia and Australia |
|
|
|
Feeding the world can be done through the existing scientific innovations including gene editing, but achieving it depends on regulations. This is one of the main messages of the gene editing experts to over 60 participants of the Workshop on Policy Considerations for Gene Editing: The Asian and Australian Perspective held on August 23-25, 2022 at Sunway Clio Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia.
