The international community remains unprepared for the potential misuse of modern bioscience and biotechnology tools to develop biological weapons. NTI | bio convened more than 30 experts for a workshop on enhancing transparency for bioscience research and development and bolstering confidence in compliance with the Biological Weapons Convention.
NTI | bio and the Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation (CACNP) hosted a September 17 Congressional staff briefing on the topic of “Preventing Biological Catastrophe and Protecting the U.S. Bioeconomy.”
Dozens of students and early-career professionals from 19 countries across five continents entered the 2024 competition, which sought innovative and creative papers focused on how investments in biosecurity can contribute to a more equitable society while also reducing biological risks.
Nuclear Threat Initiative (NTI) and Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) launch the Bio Funders Compact to safeguard rapidly advancing life science research and development.
Amid rapid advances at the intersection of artificial intelligence and the life sciences, NTI | bio and more than 25 leading experts took important steps toward creating a roadmap for safeguarding AI-enabled tools for engineering living systems from misuse.
