10th ISBGMO
In celebration of the 10th ISBGMO, the International Society for Biosafety Research (ISBR) is highlighting past achievements in biosafety research on GMOs and charting future directions. Established as a biennial event since 1990 to showcase environmental biosafety research, ISBGMO brings together scientific researchers, policy makers, regulators, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and industry representatives to foster productive dialogue and multidisciplinary approaches while embracing diverse perspectives from all parts of the globe. The 10th ISBGMO includes eight plenary sessions, four evening workshops, and posters. Each plenary session will offer presentations from 2 – 4 keynote speakers as well as contributed talks selected from submitted abstracts (due April 30th, 2008). In addition, a special joint ISBR/OECD session will examine risk assessment practices and explore the challenges to formulating sound regulatory decision-making.
