Why are manufacturers launching clinical trials for gene therapy outside the Netherlands? Strenuous efforts are being made around the world to develop a vaccine for the coronavirus as quickly as possible — including in the Netherlands. Recently, it was announced that Janssen Biologics, a Dutch biotechnology company, has developed a possible vaccine and it will test this vaccine no later than September of this year. Partly due to strict Dutch regulations, these tests will likely not take place in the Netherlands. What exactly is going on here? Why is this detrimental to the Netherlands?
