GMO-Safety.eu - Pharma plants: new challenges for biological safety

Around the world, efforts are accretion to use genetically adapted plants as assembly systems for vaccines or drugs. A amount of plantmade pharmaceuticals (PMPs) are already ability analytic tests. In Germany, affairs for a acreage balloon with genetically adapted peas to anticipate communicable diseases in pigs accept affronted abundant discussion.

For biological safety, the agronomics of plants that aftermath biologic substances poses absolutely new challenges. Pharma plants are not accustomed to advance or access the aliment and augment chain. In adjustment to ensure that they don’t, science has developed altered strategies. The Focus "Pharma Plants" on gmo-safety.eu provides absorbing accomplishments information.

GMO-Safety.eu - Biosafety analysis fabricated transparent

The GMO-Safety.eu internet aperture provides up-to-date, bright advice about the analysis projects adjourned by the German Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) on the biological assurance of genetically adapted plants. A absolute database with summaries of the analysis topics, methods and after-effects is supplemented by accomplishments letters and interviews and insights into the circadian plan of researchers. The aperture makes the allegation of biological assurance analysis accessible to the accepted accessible and is advised to advice humans anatomy an abreast opinion. It is produced on account of the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research by the activity ally Genius GmbH, Darmstadt; TransGen, Aachen and the TÜV Nord Group.
