16th EMBO | EMBL Science and Society Conference: Emerging Biotechnologies: Hype, Hope and Hard Reality

 
  March 16, 2015  
     
 
EMBO, Heidelberg
2015-11-05


The 21st century is sometimes referred to as “the century of biology” because of the potential contributions of the life sciences to virtually all research and consumer sectors. But assessing the outcomes a particular biotechnology may have on society or in research is difficult, due both to the complexities of these technologies, and to the multiple uses they may have. Further, biotechnology developments may be controversial because of ethical, economic and potential safety issues that might arise both in the research leading to these technologies, and in the wide use of the technologies themselves.
