During July 10-13, 2011, 68 participants from 32 countries gathered
in Istanbul, Turkey for a workshop organized by the United States
National Research Council on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of
the Global Expansion of High-containment Biological Laboratories.
The United States Department of State's Biosecurity Engagement
Program sponsored the workshop, which was held in partnership with
the Turkish Academy of Sciences. The international workshop
examined biosafety and biosecurity issues related to the design,
construction, maintenance, and operation of high-containment
biological laboratories- equivalent to United States Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention biological safety level 3 or 4 labs.
Although these laboratories are needed to characterize highly
dangerous human and animal pathogens, assist in disease
surveillance, and produce vaccines, they are complex systems with
inherent risks. Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of
High-Containment Biological Laboratories summarizes the workshop
discussion, which included the following topics: Technological
options to meet diagnostic, research, and other goals; Laboratory
construction and commissioning; Operational maintenance to provide
sustainable capabilities, safety, and security; and Measures for
encouraging a culture of responsible conduct. Workshop attendees
described the history and current challenges they face in their
individual laboratories. Speakers recounted steps they were taking
to improve safety and security, from running training programs to
implementing a variety of personnel reliability measures. Many also
spoke about physical security, access controls, and monitoring
pathogen inventories. Workshop participants also identified
tensions in the field and suggested possible areas for action.
