  1. “Measures to strengthen international #biosafety and #biosecurity practices”

    There is an absolute necessity for research on ‘pandemic-prone pathogens’. Studies must, however, be conducted responsibly & according to strict principles of safety & security

    This piece @PLOSBiology outlines steps for global accountability

  2. 🧬 Attention iGEM teams!

    Are you starting a new project and thinking about biosafety systems? This is a great resource to explore different containment strategies:

    📘 Auxotrophy to Xeno-DNA: an exploration of combinatorial mechanisms for a high-fidelity biosafety system for synthetic biology applications

    ➡️ doi.org/10.1186/s13036-018-010

    From engineered auxotrophy to xeno-DNA containment, it is full of ideas that could help shape your design and safety planning.
