GMO Effects on Tumor Growth with Gilles-Eric Séralini, Ph.D. - a podcast by Andy Moreno

GMO Effects on Tumor Growth with Gilles-Eric Séralini, Ph.D.
Dr. Seralini is a Professor of molecular biology at the University of Caen in France. Professor Seralini's studies on the safety of genetically modified organisms have seen the publication of over 100 scientific articles and conference papers relating to food safety. He's concluded from these studies that it is too soon to declare GMO's safe for human consumption.CRIIGEN is a unique international group of experts having a transdisciplinary approach on the benefits and risks of genetic engineering, and on alternatives. It is independent from biotech companies and promotes counter-analysis.

- Researcher and teacher in charge of a team and author,
-  One the very first to demand a European commercial moratorium on agricultural GMOs for further research,
- Appointed member of two governmental commissions on GMOs (the Biomolecular Engineering Commission (CGB) in charge of risk assessment, and the Biovigilance Committee assessing GMOs after they have been commercialized) in 1998.
