Received Date: Jan 03, 2024 / Published Date: Jan 30, 2024
Abstract
This article explores the multifaceted domain of biosecurity, a critical framework designed to prevent unauthorized access, theft, or accidental release of dangerous biological agents. In an era characterized by rapid advancements in biotechnology and the life sciences, the global community recognizes the necessity of robust measures to safeguard public health, national security, and the integrity of scientific research. The article delves into key components of biosecurity, including physical and personnel security, transport security, information security, and laboratory biosafety. Additionally, it emphasizes the importance of international collaboration and adherence to regulations such as the Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) in addressing the challenges posed by biological threats. By understanding and implementing these measures, stakeholders can collectively work towards ensuring the responsible use of biotechnology and fostering a secure environment against potential biosecurity risks
