The meeting will include (1) a workshop to examine existing biosafety guidance for contained gene drive research and to discuss potential conditions under which NIH could consider supporting field release of gene drive- modified organisms and (2) discussion of a draft report conceptualizing a framework for NExTRAC deliberation of issues surrounding emerging biotechnologies.For more information go tohttps://osp.od.nih.gov/biotechnology/main-nextracAir date: 11/10/2020 10:00:00 AM
