Von der hinteren Coverseite: This expanded, updated 3rd edition of Biotechnology and Safety Assessment includes a comprehensive contemporary review of two major areas of biotechnology ― agribiotechnology and biotherapeutics. Topics covered include the safety assessment of genetically modified (GM) foods, their risk assessment, environmental impact and post-marketing surveillance. The area of biotherapeutics includes the pre-clinical safety assessment of interferons, cytokines, and new vaccines. Written by internationally recognized molecular biologists, plant agronomists, microbiologists, toxicologists, nutritionists and regulatory authorities, this book provides well-rounded coverage of the topic. This updated 3rd Edition is an excellent comprehensive and authoritative addition to any biomedical library or agricultural technical resource center.
