Effective biorisk management is critical for mitigating biological threats in laboratories handling high consequence pathogens around the world, yet current practices are often based on outdated research, non-biological practices, or adhoc protocols that lack a proven scientific evidence base. 

he Symposium will bring together biosecurity professionals from a wide range of disciplines with varying expertise to share their experiences and knowledge on diverse biosecurity topics. The Symposium will offer attendees an opportunity to learn the latest in biosecurity and have thought-provoking conversations about real-world biosecurity issues, concerns, and scenarios.

Evolution of design is ordinarily a slow process of change from one form or level to a better or higher level. We are living in a unique period of time and are challenged to match containment laboratory capacity with the needs and wants of the industry. In this presentation, Mr. Traum describes how a team of talents must work together to build an operational and sustainable laboratory. Mr. Traum gave this presentation at the 2021 Future Laboratory Innovation and Development Summit Forum in Shanghai, China.
