Involving the manipulation of pathogens to give them a new aspect or ability such as making viruses more transmissible or dangerous to humans. Despite all we have learned about the potential risks of this method of research, this is the first congressional hearing on the subject since the pandemic began. Today we will discuss what gain of function research entails, how gain of function research is defined and with that the definition of gain of function research is applied consistently by the department of health and Human Services p3 seo review committee. This was a committee set up to study penitential pandemic pathogens. We will discuss the responsibility for how we determine the risk and benefits. We will also discuss how the committee operates, how the Committee Approves or denies objects from receiving federal funding based on whether the pathogen is considered to be a critical source, of potential human pandemic and if the potential risks as compared to the potential benefits to

Genetic modification of viruses and pathogens. Kentucky republican senator rand paul chaired the hearing. It is one hour and 45 minutes. We are going to go ahead and get started. I call this meeting of the Senate Homeland security and Government Affairs subcommittee on emerging threats and spending oversights to order. I want to thank senator hassan for allowing this bipartisan hearing to occur. Welcome to each of our panelists. Thank you for joining us. The purpose of this hearing by the subcommittee on emerging threats and spending oversights is to discuss, as our name implies the emerging threat posed by gain of research. We will hear from three witnesses, all of whom are extraordinarily accomplished experts in the scientific community. We are grateful for the work and we are grateful for each of you to take the time to appear with us this afternoon. Gain of function research is a controversial Scientific Research method involving the manipulation of pathogens to give them a new asp
Investigating gain of function research which involves the genetic modification of viruses and pathogens. Rand paul chaired the hearing and its an hour 45 minutes. The purpose of this hearing is to discuss the emerging threat posed by game of function research. We will hear from a panel of three witnesses who are extraordinarily accomplished experts in the scientific community. We are grateful for their work and grateful to each of you for taking the time to appear with us this afternoon. Game of function research is a Scientific Research method involving the manipulation of pathogens to give them new ability. The site despite what we learned about this method of research, this is the first congressional hearing on this subject since the pandemic began. Today we will discuss what gain of function research entails, how gain of function research is defined and whether the definition the definition is applied consistently by the department of health and Human Services p3 Co Review Committ
