The '''Asilomar conference on recombinant DNA''' was an influential [[conference]] discussing the regulation of [[biotechnology]] held in February [[1975]] at a conference center [[Asilomar State Beach]]. A group of around 140 professionals (primarily [[biologist]]s, but also including [[lawyer]]s and [[physician]]s) participated in the conference to draw up voluntary guidelines to ensure the safety of [[recombinant DNA]] technology. It is generally considered an important event in the history of biotechnology and the regulation of science and technology.
