International Scientific Committee for Biotechnology

目前面临的许多科学和政策问题 生物技术研究与开发。 其中一些问题 包括将基因工程生物引入 环境、联邦和州对生物技术的监督 研究、R-DNA技术食品掺假、生物技术 教育和国际推广计划，以及专利 生物技术产品和工艺。 提出了一 设立生物技术委员会，就以下事项向管理局提供意见 基础生物学（BBB）就这些问题，并提供一个论坛， 协调信息和技术的多向流动 产业、企业和公众之间的转移。 下 在BBB的指导下，拟议的委员会将发起 相关研讨会、专题讨论会和研究。 委员会的 活动将提供宝贵的信息和指导， 政府机构、研究科学家和公众。 在 此外，该委员会将作为美国国家 COBIOTECH委员会，这是一个新的国际科学 国际生物技术理事会 科学联盟。 建议委员会 生物技术由大约七名成员组成， 大部分来自诸如BBB， 生命科学（CLS）和美国代表在 COBIOTECH指导小组。

Many scientific and policy issues currently confront biotechnology research and development. Some of these issues include the introduction of genetically engineered organisms into the environment, federal and state oversight of biotechnology research, food adulteration by R-DNA techniques, biotechnology education and international outreach programs, and the patenting of biotechnology products and processes. It is proposed that a Committee on Biotechnology be established to advise the Board on Basic Biology (BBB) on these issues and to provide a forum to mediate the multidirectional flow of information and technology transfer among industry, academe, and the public. Under the direction of the BBB, the proposed committee will initiate relevant workshops, symposia, and studies. The committee's activities will provide valuable information and guidance to government agencies, research scientists, and the public. In addition, the committee would serve as the U.S. National Committee for COBIOTECH, which is a new international scientific committee on biotechnology of the International Council of Scientific Unions. It is proposed that the Committee on Biotechnology consist of approximately seven members selected for the most part from sources such as the BBB, the Commission on Life Sciences (CLS), and the U.S. representatives on the COBIOTECH steering group.
