Such a board could assist regulatory bodies by providing a central source of accurate scientific information about the risks and benefits of nanotechnology, rather than each regulatory body making its own determinations, Marchant and White write.</p><separator></separator><p> The creation of such an international board is not without significant difficulties, they add, pointing out the need for an examination of the history and challenges of existing science advisory groups worldwide.</p><separator></separator><p> To read the rest of the article, click <a href="http://www.law.asu.edu/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=lVtkJlgh0BM%3d&tab…; Marchant’s research interests include the use of genetic information in environmental regulation, risk and the precautionary principle, legal aspects of personalized medicine, and regulation of emerging technologies such as nanotechnology, neuroscience and biotechnology.
