SUMMARY:Assessing the Security Implications of Genome Editing Technology
DESCRIPTION:The academies of science, including the InterAcademy Partnershi
 p (IAP), the European Academies Science Advisory Council (EASAC), the US Na
 tional Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM), and the Ge
 rman National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, are convening an internationa
 l workshop of experts in genetic engineering, security studies and public p
 olicy.  This workshop is kindly supported and hosted by the Volkswagen Foun
 dation and aims to examine the latest advances in genome editing and analys
 e current and potential applications in a wide range of organisms such as m
 icrobes, plants, animals and humans. Participants will also address the deb
 ates about their potential risks and misuse. The need for international dia
 logue is particularly important because of the rapid development and wide-s
 pread use of genome editing tools, such as the CRISPR-Cas9 system, in count
 ries with various, sometimes divergent, regulations and governance of resea
 rch.  The project will explore near- middle- and long-term security concern
 s - relating to intentional misuse - that may arise from these applications
  and discuss technical, operational, regulatory and governance strategies t
 hat may aid the scientific and security communities in preventing or mitiga
 ting those security concerns. A report summarising the workshop discussions
  will be published jointly by the academies.\n\nWeitere Informationen und A
