Risk Assessment Challenges of Synthetic Gene Drive Organisms (Mar 2020)

Summary: The Briefing highlights that the nature of gene drive organisms (GDOs) creates novel risks, while our understanding of any potential adverse impacts on the environment or human health is limited by critical knowledge gaps and uncertainties with regard to both intended and unintended effects. This current state of knowledge of gene drives exposes fundamental uncertainties and scientific knowledge gaps that prevent conduct of robust and reliable risk assessments. In addition, decision-mak ...

Transferring the Laboratory to the Wild: An Emerging Era of Environmental Genetic Engineering (Nov 2019)

Summary: This briefing spotlights new genetic engineering techniques such as genome editing and new delivery techniques that have facilitated an emerging trend to genetically engineer organisms in the wild. This moves the engineering process to agroecosystems and beyond, essentially converting the environment into the laboratory. The briefing presents examples of research and applications, including the development of gene drive organisms (GDOs), horizontal environmental genetic alteration agen ...

Gene Drives: Legal and Regulatory Issues (Jun 2019)

Summary: There is an urgent need for effective international and legally binding regulation of gene drive organisms (GDOs). Existing biosafety rules, established for ‘conventional’ genetically modified organisms (GMOs), are deficient and not fully equipped to manage the unique risks of GDOs. With GDOs, spread and persistence are their raison d’etre, posing different legal and regulatory challenges, because of their high potential to spread beyond national borders, particularly in the case of GDO ...

National Biosafety Authority-Kenya (NBA)

Kenya signed the Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety in 2003 and ratified it in 2003. Following the approval of the National Biotechnology Policy in 2006 and enactment of the Biosafety Act in 2009, the National Biosafety Authority was established in 2010 as the National Competent Authority on biosafety matters in Kenya.
