About This Course
The Laboratory Biosafety, Biosecurity & Biorisk Management for Global Health Security Training Course is a premium, competency-based programme designed to equip laboratory professionals, researchers, biosafety officers, public health practitioners, veterinarians, environmental scientists, regulators, and institutional leaders with advanced knowledge and practical skills to safely manage biological hazards while strengthening national and organizational preparedness for emerging infectious diseases and global health threats. The programme integrates laboratory biosafety, biosecurity, biorisk management, One Health, antimicrobial resistance (AMR), pathogen containment, laboratory quality systems, emergency preparedness, biological incident response, occupational health, and regulatory compliance. Through expert-led masterclasses, laboratory simulations, tabletop exercises, risk assessments, and implementation projects, participants develop resilient laboratory systems that protect personnel, communities, research integrity, and national health security while supporting safe scientific innovation and international collaboration.
