The Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Commission (GEBC)

The Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology Commission (GEBC) is a regulatory authority responsible for overseeing the safe and ethical development of genetic engineering and biotechnology activities. It evaluates research, products, and applications involving genetic modification to ensure they meet safety standards, do not harm the environment or public health, and comply with laws. The GEBC also provides guidance, sets policies, and monitors the use of advanced biological technologies to promote innovation while safeguarding societal interests. Its role is essential for balancing scientific progress with safety and ethical considerations in biotechnology.
