Unmet Expectations: Life Scientists’ Views on Biorisk and Responsibility [PDF]

open access: yesApplied Biosafety
United States and global guidance documents and codes of conduct urge life scientists to practice a “culture of responsibility” by proactively managing the potential biosafety, biosecurity, and dual-use information risks of their work. However, research suggests that many life scientists are unfamiliar with or disengaged from aspects of biorisk ...

BioRisk-S (Biological Risk–Stomatognathic): A Predictive Algorithm for Early Systemic Detection of Stomatognathic Dysfunction [PDF]

open access: yesBioengineering
Background: Functional imbalance within the stomatognathic system can develop long before clinical symptoms become evident. Subtle biological changes, such as low-grade inflammation or metabolic disturbance, may precede gingival inflammation ...

Improved understanding of biorisk for research involving microbial modification using annotated sequences of concern

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Regulation of research on microbes that cause disease in humans has historically been focused on taxonomic lists of ‘bad bugs’. However, given our increased knowledge of these pathogens through inexpensive genome sequencing, 5 decades of research in ...

Measures to strengthen international biosafety and biosecurity practices. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Biology
No matter where they are performed, studies with infectious agents need ironclad biorisk management. This can be promoted through robust gatekeeping of funding and publication, using a new formal reporting standard for pathogen research.
