Event Detail

This IFBiC workshop enabled researchers from the Canada, Mexico, and the United States to review scientific criteria necessary for considering how to apply methods of sampling and analysis for the detection of genetically modified products.

Participants from the responsible government agencies and other key experts shared their perspectives and latest research on the first day.  The second day, provided the opportunity to discuss the scientific and communication gaps and ways to bridge these gaps were proposed.  Ultimately, it is hoped that this activity will be a step towards the development of a road map with the agencies for a harmonized science-based approach to testing.
