Resumen
Descripción
This document is divided into three sections. The first is an overview of SynBio which includes the contributions (presentations) of seven experts from various disciplines, who
provided concepts for defining SynBio (Fan Li Chou, USA). It includes examples of various industrial applications (Natalia Verza, Brazil), in the agricultural sector (Marcelo Freitas, Brazil), in the control of human diseases, the generation of public health policies (Mario Henry Rodríguez, Mexico), and in the conservation of biodiversity (Kent Redford, USA). It discusses the scientific academic development routes (Ana Sifuentes & Ricardo Chaves, USA & UK) and the bases of the regulatory aspects for dealing with the subject (Felicity Keiper, Australia).
The second section focuses on developing regulations for SynBio and reviewing the various regulatory mechanisms currently available (Felicity Keiper), particularly within
the framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity (Genya Dana, USA). It also presents the views on the regulatory framework of some of the participating countries (Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, and the United States) and the private sector.
The third section presents the details of the event: program, list of participants and contact information.
