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.
