European One-Stop Agency for the Analysis and Assessment of Genetically Modified Plants Started in Germany

Dr. Heinrich Cuypers Unternehmenskommunikation
BioCon Valley Initiative

    The Innovative Regional Growth Core "BioOK" aims to establish the region Rostock-Schwerin - especially the AgroBioTechnikum Groß Lüsewitz - as a competence centre for the analysis, assessment and monitoring of agro biotechnological products and methods. Partners from science and economy co-operate to develop new, efficient and cost effective methods and to bring them to market in the One-top-Agency BioOK GmbH. The Initiative started with funding by the German Ministry of Education and Research, BMBF.

    The network BioOK offers a complete portfolio of analytical procedures for risk assessment of genetically modified plants. BioOK is a confederation of five companies, one Steinbeis Transfer Centre and the University of Rostock. The partners of BioOK hold long-standing experience in essential procedures for the assessment of food, feed, pharmaceutical and pesticide security. These methods will be adopted in order to analyse environmental and food/ feed risks of genetically modified plants and to develop new, simple, standardised, fast and legal procedures. The German Ministry for Education and Research funds these research projects of BioOK .
    BioOK is a One-Stop- Agency which
    · offers effective and competitive assessment based on interdisciplinary research
    · is independent and neutral
    · is disposed of high quality and certified techniques and methods which are harmonised with Competent Authorities
    · offers a flexible and individual set of methods depending on the transgene and the customers demands
