Joe general work in GM


	Joe Perry's work in GM research

My GM work started in 1999, when I became part of the Consortium formed to undertake the UK's Farm Scale Evaluations (FSE) of Genetically Modified Herbicide-Tolerant (GMHT) crops.

The work is divided into four pages. Click the relevant link to learn more on my work in:

The UK Farm Scale Evaluations of GMHT crops (The FSE)

Bioethics

Coexistence of GM with organic and conventional crops

Communication of GM science to the public and Government

Here is a full list of my GM publications.
None of the entries listed in the bibliography have hyperlinks to allow downloading -
