Risk Navigation in Biotech

0 min read

Biotechnology's power creates novel risks requiring sophisticated management.

Biosafety Infrastructure

As biotechnology democratizes, safety infrastructure becomes critical.

George built biosafety systems: - Containment verification services - Risk assessment protocols - Emergency response planning - Community lab certification - Home biotech safety

His safety infrastructure enabled innovation while preventing accidents.

Dual-Use Management

Many biotechnologies have both beneficial and harmful potential. Managing dual-use concerns creates opportunities.

Helen developed dual-use management: - Technology assessment frameworks - Access control systems - Monitoring and verification - International coordination - Responsible innovation programs

Her work balanced openness with security in biological innovation.

Unintended Consequence Mitigation

Biology's complexity creates unintended consequences. Predicting and mitigating these creates value.

Ian built mitigation services: - Ecological impact modeling - Evolutionary pressure analysis - System interaction prediction - Reversal protocol development - Long-term monitoring systems

His services helped innovations proceed with confidence.
