Biosecurity concerns us all: How can I recognize a potential for misuse in my laboratory? Do I conduct Dual Use Reserach of Concern (DURC)? After discussing historical events, legal regulations as well as international provisions, the course will focus on concrete exemples from the participants' experiences.
