Assessing Security Implications of Genome Editing: Emerging Points From an International Workshop

Volker ter Meulen and Robin Fears published an article on genome editing in the journal 'Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology'.

In October 2017, IAP, EASAC, NASEM and the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina convened an international workshop of experts in genome editing, security studies and public policy in Herrenhausen, Germany. A report of this workshop was published in January 2018. In this newly released article in the journal Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Volker ter Meulen (IAP President) and Robin Fears (EASAC Biosciences Programme Director) present some of the report's key conclusions.
