RESUMÉ of the UNGA77 Science Session
On the occasion of the 77th General Assembly of the United Nations in New York, a Science Summit
session highlighted Plant Molecular Farming (PMF), using plants to manufacture important
pharmaceutical proteins, as a promising and reliable option for better future pandemic
preparedness. PMF provides a well-established versatile, scalable and affordable technology
platform to develop manufacturing independence. To efficiently implement PMF in countries where
medicines and vaccines are most urgently needed a new model for global collaboration and capacity
building was presented at a hybrid event hosted by the Permanent Representation of Austria to the
United Nations in New York.
