OECD biotechnology newsletter updates

The purpose of the OECD Biotechnology Update is to provide up-to-date information on the diverse activities at OECD related to biotechnology. The newsletter is mainly intended for delegates to OECD meetings who are familiar with OECD's work. However, we hope that it also serves a purpose to the wider biotech community.
