GCRI · Biotechnologie et biosécurité

Mandat et éditeur

Biotechnology and Biosecurity is published by The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI). Its mandate is the science of responsible biotechnology and biological risk: evaluating technologies, studying laboratory governance and developing évaluation des risques methods across health, agriculture and industry. This page sets out who answers for the platform, whom it serves, what it publishes and where its role stops. The platform is open for information and enquiries.

02Mandat

Research and biosafety practice.

The platform exists because biotechnology now spans health, agriculture and industry, while its risks cross the boundaries between them. Its mandate covers bioassurance, laboratory governance, évaluation des risques and technology evaluation. It is a place for research and biosafety practice, not a health-service provider or clinical authority.

It stewards the canonical pages for sciences moléculaires et de la vie and biotechnology platforms in the STEM Commons, so that every platform applying those methods works from the same description of their assumptions and limits.

04Limites

Ce que la plateforme ne fait pas.

  • It does not regulate, inspect, certify, license or approve any laboratory, product, organism or person.
  • It does not provide clinical, diagnostic or treatment advice.
  • It publishes no protocols or technical detail that could increase capacity for harm.
  • It does not replace institutional biosafety committees, national regulators or international instruments such as the Biological Weapons Convention and the Règlement sanitaire international.
  • Taking part gives no authority, appointment or influence over findings, and sponsorship confers no editorial control.

GCRI is a research, development and policy institution. It is not a regulator, and its findings carry their methods and uncertainty.

05Statut

Established.

Biotechnology and Biosecurity is an established platform: its scope and methods are published, and its activities, records and services appear here as each one opens. Governance and corrections follow trust, rights and status. The platform’s place in the Consortium is set out on the Biotechnology and Biosecurity home, and its scientific scope on the field overview. Governance questions in the same field are convened by Gouvernance de la santé et de la biosécurité au Global Risks Forum (GRF).

06Questions

Questions et réponses.

Is Biotechnology and Biosecurity a separate organisation?
No. It is a specialist platform of The Global Centre for Risk and Innovation (GCRI), which publishes it.
Can a laboratory use platform primers as its biosafety rules?
Primers are research evidence. Each laboratory’s rules are set by its institution and competent authorities under the law that applies.
Where do I raise a safety or misuse concern?
Écrire à le formulaire de signalement d'intégrité or use corrections and concerns. The acknowledgement gives a reference and names the next step. Urgent risks to life belong with local emergency services.
