NEXT GENERATION BIOSECURITY
Welcome to the educational portal of Next Generation Biosecurity: 21st Century Biorisks!
At Next Generation Biosecurity, we believe in taking action to raise awareness about biosecurity and the responsible conduct of the biosciences. We believe the best way to teach those working in the life sciences how to keep themselves, others and their research safe and secure is through educational tools and a whole lotta gaming!

"'What is the worst possible way that someone is going to misuse your technology?’
Think about that headline. Think about your name being associated with that and then ask yourself ‘What can I do to prevent that from happening?'"
