Activities
Community BioFutures
The EBRC Community BioFutures initiative aims to build bioliteracy and engagement in the U.S. bioeconomy by empowering stakeholders and strengthening local bioeconomies through a national networking and resources infrastructure.
More →Enabling Quality, Measurable Synthetic DNA Sequence Screening
This project aims to improve DNA synthesis screening by enabling the development of better tools and mechanisms for screening performance evaluation.
More →End-to-End Stress Testing (E2EST) of DNA Synthesis Screening
This project will conduct end-to-end stress testing (E2EST) of nucleic acid synthesis providers. We will use customers with different attributes and sequences with different biorisk profiles to learn about provider customer, sequence, and follow-up screening practices.
More →Building International Best Practices For Robust Synthetic Nucleic Acid Screening
This project aims to establish a set of internationally recognized best practices for nucleic acid synthesis screening through a coordinated global approach. This initiative will build on EBRC’s previous work to enhance biosecurity and ensure screening practices are robust and resilient to evolving technological risks.
More →Malice Analysis: Assessing Biotechnology Research for Security Concerns
EBRC’s Malice Analysis program endeavors to build and support security awareness within the engineering biology community by training participants to evaluate their own work for security concerns. By providing participants with the tools and framework to engage in this type of analysis, EBRC hopes they will be prepared to consider, discuss, and improve security in engineering biology research throughout their careers.
More →EBRsee
EBRsee is our home for podcasts, videos, and other content on tools, technologies, and careers engineering biology aimed at increasing public awareness and engagement.
More →Global Forum for Engineering Biology
EBRC is actively working with global leaders to facilitate an exchange of information on the nature and scope of engineering biology research worldwide.
