About Launching a Global Research Agenda for Evidence-Based Biosafety
Launching a Global Research Agenda for Evidence-Based Biosafety
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threats in laboratories handling high consequence pathogens around the world, yet current practices are often based on outdated research, non-biological practices, or adhoc protocols that lack a proven scientific evidence base. A global biorisk research agenda will facilitate the research needed to bolster evidence-based biorisk management. The final agenda will be disseminated to researchers, policy makers, and regulators to guide the implementation of new biosafety research projects and, ultimately, inform scientifically sound biorisk management practices, strengthen international networks, and foster sustainable global expertise.
