Course content
Biosafety and biosecurity are relatively new areas of knowledge whose main task to protect the population from biological threats of various origins. Depending on the field application, the terms biosafety and biosecurity are interpreted differently. Within this The discipline will consider mainly laboratory biosafety and biosecurity, the main purpose of which is to protect the researcher from hazardous biological materials with which he works. In addition, as an element of the formation of a culture of biosafety and biosecurity, will also be considered bioethics, in particular the concept of responsibility of the scientist. Biosafety and biosecurity not only reduce the risks of research and protect the worker, but also prevent the intentional or unintentional use of research results to cause harm.
