Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering Regulation

Biotechnology and genetic engineering regulation involves laws and guidelines that ensure the safety and efficacy of products developed through these scientific methods, especially food and drugs. Agencies like the FDA examine how these products are created, their potential impacts on health and the environment, and their effectiveness for consumers. This regulation aims to balance scientific innovation with public safety, ensuring that genetically modified organisms (GMOs) and engineered medicines are thoroughly tested before reaching the market. The goal is to protect consumers and promote trust in biotechnological advancements.
