Scientists Behind Deadly New H5N1 Strain Granted Right To Publish
The scientist whose research team last year developed a new strain of the H5N1 virus that is easily passed between mammals has been granted an export license for his findings by the Dutch government, according to Science Insider.
The license allows Ron Fouchier, the virologist at Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam who led the research team that developed the new strain, to send a revised version of his paper to the academic journal Science.
The license was granted after a closed-door meeting in The Hague in which "government officials discussed the risks and benefits of the research with an international group of scientists and security experts," according to Science Insider. The National Science Advisory Board on Biosecurity (NSABB) and the World Health Organization have both recommended publication of Fouchier's research.
