A Culture of Responsibility: Laboratory Safety at the FDA

A cornerstone of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s scientific work is to ensure that we operate our laboratories in a safe and secure manner. October 2020 is the seventh anniversary of Biosafety & Biosecurity Month, an initiative begun at NIH to raise awareness and improve the effectiveness of biosafety programs nationwide. This year’s theme is The Role of Biosafety and Biosecurity in Mitigating Emerging Risk, and the Association for Biosafety and Biosecurity is focusing activities on identifying best practices and lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic.
