This is a link post for the Biosecurity Fundamentals Curriculum

Core:

🔗
Biosafety ◦ Biosafety Levels 1, 2, 3, & 4 - Lab Manager (2010) (5 mins) ◦ High-risk human-caused pathogen exposure events from 1975-2016  ▪ Spend ~10 minutes looking through table 1

Optional:

🔗
Examples of assessing new technologies ◦ Assessing new technologies. Have a look at table 1 in this paper to get a sense of frameworks that can be applied to new technologies to assess risk ▪ Biosecurity risks associated with vaccine platform technologiesNext Steps for Access to Safe, Secure DNA SynthesisEngineering Gene Safety, ◦ DARPA’s Biological Technologies Office runs extremely interesting biodefense research programs; this is a comprehensive summary of one of them.
