AquAdvantage Salmon: A Regulatory Odyssey
At BIO 2012, an article was published on AquaBounty Technologies which told the tale of the Company’s New Animal Drug Application (NADA) for AquAdvantage Salmon. At that time, the Company had completed all the required major elements for an FDA approval and FDA had held a thorough public airing before its Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee (VMAC) of the results of the agency’s Center for Veterinary Medicine’s (CVM) review of AquaBounty’s application. Following the meeting of Read More >
If Politics Trumps Science, Businesses Will Leave the U.S.
The Anchorage Daily News ran an editorial authored by California Farmer and Alaska fisherman Ted Sheely about the still-pending approval of the genetically engineered salmon. Sheely says some politicians in Washington think they have identified a threat to the pristine Alaska wilderness. These members of Congress are trying to force the federal government to slow down or stop a technology company that has figured out a way to make salmon less expensive for ordinary consumers.

Is Animal Biotechnology Progressing?
By David Edwards, PhD Director, Animal Biotechnology, BIO One year ago, I was pleased to testify before the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) Veterinary Medicine Advisory Committee (VMAC). The FDA convened its VMAC meetings on September 19-21, 2010 to discuss an application for a genetically engineered (GE) salmon. Developed by Massachusetts-based AquaBounty Technologies, a BIO member, the AquAdvantage salmon has been genetically engineered to grow year-round. Conventional salmon only grow in warmer months.

I thought I’d know soon. But then politics intervened. Fighting Pseudoscience is a blog from Forbes.
