Future Biotechnology Products and Opportunities to Enhance Capabilities of the Biotechnology Regulatory System

Completed

Between 1973 and 2016, the ways to manipulate DNA to endow new characteristics in an organism (that is, biotechnology) have advanced, enabling the development of products that were not previously possible. What will the likely future products of biotechnology be over the next 5–10 years? What scientific capabilities, tools, and/or expertise may be needed by the regulatory agencies to ensure they make efficient and sound evaluations of the likely future products of biotechnology? This report analyzes the future landscape of biotechnology products and seeks to inform forthcoming policy making.
