However these technologies also have unforeseen risks and applications to humans and the environment. This open access book presents discussions on risks and mitigation strategies for these technologies including biosecurity, or the potential of synthetic biology technologies and processes to be deliberately misused for nefarious purposes. The book presents strategies to prevent, mitigate, and recover from ?dual-use concern? biosecurity challenges that may be raised by individuals, rogue states, or non-state actors. Several key topics are explored including opportunities to develop more coherent and scalable approaches to govern biosecurity from a laboratory perspective up to the international scale and strategies to prevent potential health and environmental hazards posed by deliberate misuse of synthetic biology without stifling innovation. The book brings together the expertise of top scholars in synthetic biology and biotechnology risk assessment, management, and communication to discuss potential biosecurity governing strategies and offer perspectives for collaboration in oversight and future regulatory guidance. 410 0$aNATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security 606 $aBiotecnologia$2thub 606 $aEnginyeria biomèdica$2thub 606 $aBiomedical engineering$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology$2bicssc 606 $aInternational relations$2bicssc 606 $aCrime & criminology$2bicssc 606 $aBiotechnology$2bicssc 606 $aEnvironment law$2bicssc 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 610 $aSynthetic Biology Governance 610 $aBiotechnology Regulation 610 $aEnvironmental Sustainability 610 $aEnergy Production 610 $aRisks and Applications 610 $aRisk Assessment 610 $aHuman Health Risks 610 $aEnvironmental Health Risks 610 $aOpen Access 615 7$aBiotecnologia 615 7$aEnginyeria biomèdica 615 7$aBiomedical engineering 615 7$aEnvironmental science, engineering & technology 615 7$aInternational relations 615 7$aCrime & criminology 615 7$aBiotechnology 615 7$aEnvironment law 676 $a358.38 700 $aTrump$b Benjamin D$01074437 701 $aFlorin$b Marie-Valentine$01235624 701 $aPerkins$b Edward$01235625 701 $aLinkov$b Igor$0942553 801 0$bAU-PeEL 801 1$bAU-PeEL 801 2$bAU-PeEL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910500586503321 996 $aEmerging Threats of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology$92869710 997 $aUNINA
