Tóm tắt
This open-access book examines biosecurity risks and mitigation strategies in synthetic biology, a rapidly advancing field with applications in medicine, sustainability, and energy. It addresses dual-use concerns, where technologies could be misused by individuals, rogue states, or non-state actors, and explores ways to prevent, mitigate, and recover from biosecurity challenges. Key topics include developing scalable governance frameworks, strategies for risk management from lab to international levels, and balancing innovation with safety to avoid health and environmental hazards. Contributions from leading experts provide guidance on oversight, regulatory policies, and collaborative approaches for managing synthetic biology risks.
