Join us for GMO UNDER THE MICROSCOPE, a LABOUR EVENT exploring the growing role of genetic modifications and genetic engineering in agriculture. As these technologies continue to shape the future of food production, regulatory approaches to genetically modified crops and foods vary widely across regions, raising critical questions about their impact and safety.

This event will feature expert-led lectures on the latest advancements in molecular diagnostics for detecting genetic modifications in crops. A key focus will be the development of innovative sensing platforms for on-site, point-of-need detection, essential tools for real-time monitoring, and food safety assurance.

In addition to scientific insights, discussions will highlight the broader importance of understanding the genetic composition of our food and its implications for agriculture and food security.

We are pleased to invite all interested individuals to join this important conversation at the intersection of science, technology, and food production.
