Welcome to the 11th International Symposium on the
Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms (ISBGMO)

The role of biosafety research in the decision making process
Organized by the International Society for Biosafety Research (ISBR)

The International Society for Biosafety Research in conjunction with the local organizing committee in Argentina is pleased to announce the 11th International Symposium on the Biosafety of GMOs to be held in Buenos Aires, Centro Cultural Borges - Galerias Pacifico.

The theme of ISBGMO 11 is “The role of biosafety research in the decision making process”. This symposium will bring together scientists interested in sharing results and learning from other experts in the area of biosafety research and its application to regulatory decision-making. As such, a program of workshops and talks is being developed that will encourage the exchange of scientific experiences and ideas with a focus on how biosafety research supports regulatory processes especially risk assessments and ultimately science-based decisions.

Who should come?

This symposium affords an opportunity for those involved in the research, development, testing, regulation, assessment and management of GMOs worldwide to share experiences with colleagues from around the globe.
