1.1 Towards frameworks for evaluation and governance of Biotechnologies Beyond Conventional Containment

Abstract

At the Spirit of Asilomar meeting, one working group met to discuss whether a consistent framework for categorizing and providing guidance for the use of Biotechnologies Beyond Conventional Containment (BBCCs), similar to how the Biosafety Level framework operates for the laboratory use of biological agents, could be developed. This document presents some of the major conclusions from these discussions, outlines the general structure of what a framework might look like, and states some open questions that still need to be addressed to develop any concrete implmeentation of such a framework.

Description
This entreaty was created as part of The Spirit of Asilomar and the Future of Biotechnology summit (February 23-26, 2025) in Pacific Grove, CA.
