EmailGlobal Biotech Potato Partnership leads workshop on safety assessment of late blight resistant potato at global biosafety conference.
The International Society for Biosafety Research (ISBR) held their 2023 Symposium recently in St. Louis. The event brought together world leaders in cutting-edge biosafety research, technology development, risk analysis, regulation, policy and communication. The Global Biotech Potato Partnership was excited to participate with a workshop titled, "Safety Assessment of Potato with 3 R Genes for Late Blight Resistance: A Global Perspective." The workshop featured experiences and discussions on biosafety issues from the project in its work to bring a 3 R-gene late blight resistant potato to Africa and Southeast Asia. Regulatory experts from each of the four target countries of the project (Bangladesh, Indonesia, Kenya and Nigeria) also presented their in-country regulatory system and approach to safety assessments.
