What are the first projects in BioForge?

The first Open Access Technology activities of the BiOS initiative focus on key portfolios of enabling technology that are presenting real bottlenecks to innovation by and for the developing world, and indeed for the structural reform of enterprise in OECD countries, especially in agriculture: plant transformation methods, genotyping, gene activation.

More projects are gradually added to the BioForge;  some of the recent additions include a description of a project for low-cost cancer diagnostics. 

Dependent on suitable funding, 'flagship' programs can be developed, targeting critical future technology opportunities that can have catalytic effects on democratic innovation, including more technologies affecting health and medical interventions.
