OVERVIEW

DIVISION OF BIOSAFETY AND BIOSECURITY

The Division of Biosafety and Biosecurity (DBB) was borne of the NICD’s need for a dedicated team of biocontainment engineering and biorisk specialists to oversee and advance institutional biorisk management requirements.

DBB was established in 2008 to support the daily operation of the BSL4 Facility, and has since grown in size and stature to service the entire institute, greater NHLS and beyond. The Division now boasts of a highly skilled and dedicated team of biocontainment engineers and artisans, a biorisk management specialist and administrative support.
