商品描述
This book describes an adaptable biothreat assessment process to complement overall biorisk management programs, incorporating threat management and the unique natures of biological assets. Further, this book examines the nexus between public health, international security, and developing technologies, building a case for augmenting biosecurity to levels beyond the laboratory constraints. With the face of biological and biomedical sciences changing, this book describes how with proper biosecurity development, these can become assets, rather than liabilities, to secure our world from natural and man-made biological disasters. The world is changing rapidly with respect to developing threats, such as terrorism, and dual-use technologies, such as synthetic biology, that are challenging how we think about biosafety and biosecurity. Further, the fields of public health and international security are colliding, as both of these share the common enemy: intentional or natural biological incidents. To date, biosecurity has been limited to laboratory-level application, and complicating efforts, and lacks credentialed biosecurity professionals skilled in both the biological sciences and threat management techniques. The result is a fragmented field of practice, with tremendous need, from the lab to the outbreak. Underpinning these principles is the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, providing a historic milestone to examine biosecurity through a global lens.
This book describes biosecurity as a set of practices and principles to be augmented out of the constrained laboratory environment, and applied to larger efforts, such as international threat reduction and biological incident management.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書描述了一個可調整的生物威脅評估過程，以補充整體的生物風險管理計劃，並結合威脅管理及生物資產的獨特性質。此外，本書探討了公共衛生、國際安全與新興技術之間的聯繫，為提升生物安全性至超越實驗室限制的水平提供了論據。隨著生物科學和生物醫學科學的面貌不斷變化，本書說明了如何透過適當的生物安全發展，將這些資產化，而非成為我們抵禦自然和人為生物災害的負擔。隨著恐怖主義等新興威脅的快速發展，以及合成生物學等雙用途技術的挑戰，我們對生物安全和生物安全性的思考也在改變。此外，公共衛生和國際安全的領域正在交匯，因為這兩者共同面對的敵人是：故意或自然的生物事件。迄今為止，生物安全性僅限於實驗室層級的應用，並且在努力上面臨複雜性，缺乏具備生物科學和威脅管理技術的專業生物安全人員。結果是這個實踐領域支離破碎，從實驗室到疫情爆發之間有著巨大的需求。這些原則的基礎是SARS-CoV-2冠狀病毒大流行，提供了一個歷史性的里程碑，以全球視角檢視生物安全性。
本書將生物安全性描述為一套實踐和原則，旨在超越受限的實驗室環境，應用於更大範圍的努力，例如國際威脅減少和生物事件管理。

Ryan N. Burnette, Ph.D. is an international practitioner of biorisk management, biocontainment laboratory operations consulting, and biodefense initiatives. He has worked with domestic agencies, foreign governments, academia, healthcare, industry, and independent laboratory programs in more than thirty countries across Southeast Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Latin America, and Europe. He has led national and international biological threat reduction programs and supported the development of biosecurity programs at multiple national laboratories, academic medical research centers, and biopharmaceutical production enterprises. Dr. Burnette's portfolio includes efforts with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the U.S. Department of Defense, all focused on building and instituting comprehensive biosafety and biosecurity programs. Dr. Burnette has published in the fields of molecular biology, endocrinology, biosafety, biosecurity, and infectious diseases and is the author and editor of one of the most recognized volumes in the field of biosecurity, "Biosecurity: Understanding, Assessing, and Preventing the Threat," published in 2013. Dr. Burnette has held positions in the Departments of Biology and Biochemistry at Virginia Tech as well as the Department of Molecular Physiology and Biophysics at Vanderbilt University School of Medicine. He is currently a Vice President at Merrick & Company, a Colorado-based consulting corporation, where he oversees the Life Sciences practice from Merrick's branch office in the Washington, D.C. area.
