Molecular Farming - plant biologicals

"Plant biotechnology offers an unprecendented opportunity to produce modern, recombinant pharmaceutical proteins at scale, quickly and at low cost. In essence, a “low-tech high technology”, it has the potential to address many of the global health issues that cannot be solved using conventional technologies. This meeting followed on from the first Molecular Farming meeting in January 2006, and visited the latest advances and enabling technologies, and reviewed the progress that is being made towards the first commercial products."
