Biosecurity

Biosecurity refers to the practices and measures designed to prevent the unauthorized access, theft, or misuse of biological agents, such as pathogens and toxins, that could be used to harm humans, animals, or the environment. As biotechnology advances and becomes increasingly accessible, biosecurity is becoming a critical concern for researchers, policymakers, and the broader tech community, who must balance the need for scientific progress with the need to mitigate potential risks and prevent the misuse of biological research.
