Sciensano

The use of pathogens (disease-causing organisms) or genetically modified organisms ( GMO s) might in some cases involve risks for human health or the environment. It is our task to assess these risks and, when necessary, to propose proportionate measures to control them. We are committed to serving society by providing scientific support and delivering objective information and recommendations to the authorities or any interested person or organisation. In delivering our expertise we are, just like Sciensano, completely independent.
