This presentation focuses on ethical and oversight issues as they relate to the insertion of human cells into nonhuman animals, e.g., “chimeric research.”
Where the food science and nutrition communities have come and may be going in defining sustainable food systems with examples from research in the NC State Food, Bioprocessing and Nutrition Department.
Panel: Drs. Karletta Chief (University of Arizona), Yael Perez (University of California-Berkeley), and Amy Sapkota (University of Maryland). Joining us from three different NSF research traineeships on food, energy, and water systems (FEWS), our panelists will share each programs' challenges, opportunities, and sustainability.
This discussion aims to give participants some thought-provoking information on how food is generally regulated in the U.S., in addition to a general overview of the process utilized by the regulatory bodies to approve genetically engineered foods for human consumption.
The video and podcast of this colloquium will be embargoed until after the referenced research is published (date TBD).
REGISTRATION REQUIRED. Come try a selection of GE foods, such as the Pinkglow pineapple, and join us for a panel discussion on what stuff you should know about the next generation of genetically engineered foods.
