Europe has decided
๐ช๐บ A week on from the European Parliament's adoption of the New Genomic Techniques (NGT) Regulation.
The headlines have covered the milestone. We wanted to share what it means from where we sit.
The new framework creates a clearer regulatory pathway for gene-edited crops in Europe. That is a meaningful shift. It removes an important barrier between scientific progress and the development of better crop varieties for farmers.
For disease resistance, that question is especially important.
๐ At Resurrect Bio, we identify where crop immune systems have been defeated by pathogens and design precise genetic changes to restore or improve immune function.
๐ฑ This gives seed companies regulation-compatible, validated resistance traits that can be implemented through their existing breeding and gene-editing pipelines.
Last week's vote brings gene-edited traits closer to European farmers. We are focused on making sure those traits are worth delivering.
