At the International Biosecurity Symposium 2025, the Biosecurity Office launched a new tool: the Dual-use Infographic.

Recently, it was reported in the news that two researchers in the US are suspected of illegally importing a fungus that can cause significant damage to agricultural crops.

The Biosecurity Office looks back with great enthusiasm on a successful first edition of the International Biosecurity Symposium.

In June 2024, WHO has published the revised Laboratory biosecurity guidance.

As of May 2024, CWA 16335:2011 Biosafety professional competence standard has been converted to ISO/TS 5441:2024 Competence requirements for biorisk management advisors.

When you think of dual-use, you might associate it with research on high-risk pathogens, but have you ever considered that dual-use research could also take place within the informatics department

What can you expect from the Biosecurity Office in the coming year?

The Biosecurity Knowledge Day took place some time ago, but we would like to take a moment to look back on this day.
