Scientific Advisory Committee on Genetic Modification (Contained Use), (SACGM(CU))

Meeting agendas, papers and minutes

SACGM (CU) replaces the esteemed Advisory Committee on Genetic Modification (ACGM) together with its Technical Subcommittee (TSC). ACGM, and latterly TSC, played a key role in the development of the comprehensive and highly successful legislation now in place for the contained use of GMOs. Careful consideration has recently been given to future advisory requirements in relation to GM contained use activities and it has been concluded that the emphasis is now on obtaining independent expert scientific/technical advice for the UK CA on specific GM notifications and related issues. SACGM (CU) came into effect on 1 January 2004.

Public Meeting

The Scientific Advisory Committee on Genetic Modification (Contained Use) provides technical and scientific advice to the UK Competent Authority on all aspects of the human and environmental risks of the contained use of genetically modified organisms.

The third public meeting of the SACGM(CU) will be held on Wednesday, 18 March 2009 at Rose Court [92KB], Southwark, London. The committee is proposing to discuss: classification issues related to notified activities involving modified human and animal pathogens; the emerging area of stem cell biology; and will be receiving an update from HSE on progress on the development of the new single regulatory framework for genetically modified organisms, human and animal pathogens. There will be an opportunity for participants to raise questions on any of the agenda items. A finalised agenda will be posted here in the near future.

Places at the public meeting are allocated on a first-come-first-served basis; to reserve your place, please e-mail your details to SACGM@hse.gsi.gov.uk.
