“The strides being made by our scientists are indeed commendable. However, I challenge #African scientists to get out of their comfort zone and communicate effectively in non-technical languages to inform policy decisions and consumer choices.”

Our key note speaker for day 5/5 at #ABBC2021 is John Komen as he shares ‘The Global policy and regulatory perspectives of #GenomeEditing’
#Africa is indeed a fast adopter of technology.
#CelebratingGains #AfricaScienceDialogue
“Given the precision, affordability & potential offered by #GenomeEditing, #Africa stands to benefit most. Majority of the products may be exempted from regulatory review.”
John Komen, advisor on matters of biotech policy, biosafety regulation
#ABBC2021 #AfricaScienceDialogue
“Being regulatory exempt from rigorous measures doesn’t mean that #GenomeEditing products are NOT regulated… Various #African countries already have sets of regulations governing handling of the products (approval and release).” John Komen
