The project examines the security challenges arising from research in the life sciences, dual-use research, and the biotech industry in Southeast Asia. Other research areas include the preventive measures of Biosafety Labs (BSL), such as preventing biosecurity incidents caused by insider threats, extremist terror groups, cyber criminals, or transnational criminal networks. In addition, the project analyses the national and regional efforts to enhancing biosecurity and response and preparedness capacities in Southeast Asia and the wider region in case of the use or threat of use of biological weapons, including the roles of regional bodies and networks supporting ASEAN Member States. The research also explores pathways toward integrating biosecurity and response and preparedness capacity development into regional frameworks, standards and approaches.
