Today’s world faces more biological threats than ever before, from mutations to antibiotic resistance to new diseases and increased access to engineered diseases. It is vital that scientific research is conducted safely to protect those who work in the laboratory as well as wider communities.
In this course you will get an introduction to these issues, exploring biosafety, biological threats and how to counteract them in your work. You will also learn how to respond to biological challenges and learn how to examine problems in the laboratory.
What are the Biosafety Courses?
Biosafety is the principles, technologies and practices of containment that are implemented to prevent unintentional exposure to biological material and toxins, or their accidental release. The Biosafety Course is a training in the principles of biosafety, including guidelines and regulations, decontamination and disinfection, and disposal and shipment of biological materials.
Facility and equipment design, medical surveillance and risk assessments will also be covered. Students will generally be introduced to key biosafety reference materials and will learn how to use them to conduct basic bio-risk assessments and establish appropriate levels of containment.
This course is for professionals working in public and global health, international security, politics, and international relations. It may be particularly useful for biosafety officers in academia, industry or government, and academics in early life science careers.
