Biosecurity

There have been a multitude of events and attacks that has brought biosecurity to the forefront in the biosafety arena, worldwide.  Since the anthrax attacks on U.S. citizens in October, 2001 and the expansion of the United States Select Agent regulations in December 2003, laboratory managers and biosafety officers have been seeking to protect and secure their research with biological agents and toxins.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health have recognized the need for biosecurity in its flagship biological safety publication, Biosafety in Microbiological and Biomedical Laboratories (BMBL), 5th Edition (2007). In such a recently recognized field, where can you seek guidance?
