Emerging Threats of Synthetic Biology and Biotechnology: Addressing Security and Resilience Issues: NATO Science for Peace and Security Series C: Environmental Security
Editat de Benjamin D. Trump, Marie-Valentine Florin, Edward Perkins, Igor Linkoven Limba Engleză Paperback – 8 sep 2021
This open access book presents discussions on risks and mitigation strategies for these technologies including biosecurity, or the potential of synthetic biology technologies and processes to be deliberately misused for nefarious purposes. The book presents strategies to prevent, mitigate, and recover from ‘dual-use concern’ biosecurity challenges that may be raised by individuals, rogue states, or non-state actors. Several key topics are explored including opportunities to develop more coherent and scalable approaches to govern biosecurity from a laboratory perspective up to the international scale and strategies to prevent potential health and environmental hazards posed by deliberate misuse of synthetic biology without stifling innovation. The book brings together the expertise of top scholars in synthetic biology and biotechnology risk assessment, management, and communication to discuss potential biosecurity governing strategies and offer perspectives for collaboration in oversight and future regulatory guidance.

Notă biografică
Benjamin D. TRUMP
Dr. Benjamin D. TRUMP is a Research Social Scientist for the US Army Corps of Engineers.
Dr. Trump’s work focuses on decision making and governance of activities under significant
uncertainty, such as emerging and enabling technologies (synthetic biology, nanotechnology)
and developing organizational, infrastructural, social, and informational resilience against
systemic threats to complex interconnected systems. Dr. Trump served as a delegate to assist US
presence in OECD’s Global Science Forum in 2017, and was the President of the Society for
Risk Analysis’ Decision Analysis and Risk Specialty Group in 2018-2019, as well as its
Resilience Analysis Specialty Group in 2019-2020. He was selected as a Fellow of the Emerging
Leaders in Biosecurity Initiative, Class of 2019. In December 2020, Dr. Trump was installed as
the Treasurer of the Society for Risk Analysis. Dr. Trump was also a contributing author ofthe
International Risk Governance Council’s Guidelines for the Governance of Systemic Risks, as
well as their 2nd Volume of the Resource Guide on Resilience. Dr. Trump is also frequently
active with several Advanced Research Workshops for the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s
Science for Peace Programme. Co-authored with Dr. Igor Linkov, Dr. Trump’s book The Science
and Practice of Resilience (2019) includes a detailed discussion of the methodological,
philosophical, and governance-related work behind the concept of resilience. His follow-up book
with Dr. Myriam Merad, Expertise Under Scrutiny (2020), addresses the challenges facing
decision makers of how to construct and implement scientifically formed and institutionally valid
decisions within an environment of heightened uncertainty and public criticism. Dr. Trump
received his Ph.D. from the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health, Department of
Health Management and Policy in 2016. He received an M.S. (2012) in Public Policy and
Management and a B.S. in Political Science (2011) from Carnegie Mellon University.
Marie-Valentine FLORIN
Marie-Valentine Florin is the Executive Director of the International Risk Governance Center
(IRGC), at Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. IRGC acts at the
interface between science and policy and is particularly active about risks related to emerging
technologies, marked by complexity, uncertainty and ambiguity. She continues to develop the
concepts and guidelines for risk governance established by the IRGC Foundation, with a focus
on emerging and systemic risks, for which the risk and the resilience governance perspectives are
relevant. She convenes multi-stakeholder groups of experts to consider the particular risks and
governance challenges that arise in specific sectors such as digital technologies, climate engineering, nanotechnology, or synthetic biology. Before joining the IRGC Foundation in 2006,
Ms Florin spent the first part of her career (1984-1999) in an international socio-cultural research
and marketing consulting firm. She graduated from Science Po in Paris (public policy and
management) and then earned post-graduate diplomas in marketing strategy, sustainable
development and environmental diplomacy. She is Society for Risk Analysis Fellow and a member of the Advisory Board to the Global Risk Report of the World Economic Forum.

Synthetic biology is a field of biotechnology that is rapidly growing in various applications, such as in medicine, environmental sustainability, and energy production. However these technologies also have unforeseen risks and applications to humans and the environment.
This open access book presents discussions on risks and mitigation strategies for these technologies including biosecurity, or the potential of synthetic biology technologies and processes to be deliberately misused for nefarious purposes. The book presents strategies to prevent, mitigate, and recover from ‘dual-use concern’ biosecurity challenges that may be raised by individuals, rogue states, or non-state actors. Several key topics are explored including opportunities to develop more coherent and scalable approaches to govern biosecurity from a laboratory perspective up to the international scale and strategies to prevent potential health and environmental hazards posed by deliberate misuse of synthetic biology without stifling innovation. The book brings together the expertise of top scholars in synthetic biology and biotechnology risk assessment, management, and communication to discuss potential biosecurity governing strategies and offer perspectives for collaboration in oversight and future regulatory guidance.
