Risk Management for Dual-Use Potential in Life Science Research

Risk Management for Dual-Use Potential in Life Science Research

The Risk Management for Dual-Use Potential in Life Science Research guideline was developed by PHAC and CFIA as part of a series of electronic publications that expand upon the biosafety and biosecurity concepts discussed in the Canadian Biosafety Standard, Third Edition (CBS). This guideline provides information and considerations on how to assess dual-use potential in life science research involving pathogens, toxins, or other biological material, and how to manage associated risks.
