Viral Sovereignty and Technology Transfer from Part III - Solutions: Standard Material Transfer Agreements, Repositories, and Specialized International Instruments
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 May 2020
Chapter 8 explores the mechanics of material transfer agreements that accompany transfers of pathogens.
