Enhancing Biosecurity Oversight in Malaysia with Dual Use Case Studies
This case study exercise was developed by Gryphon Scientific and the Science and Technology Research Institute For Defence (STRIDE) for the workshop titled “Workshop on Enhancing Biosecurity Oversight in Malaysia with Dual Use Case Studies” This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International License License: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/
Learning Goals and Objectives Learning goals: • Appreciate the role of risk analysis – including risk identification, risk assessment, risk management, and risk communication – in the conduct of responsible research • Develop skills for risk analysis of life sciences research • Learn to communicate about risk analysis with colleagues and other stakeholders • Learn to apply risk analysis and mitigation concepts to your own work Objectives: • Identify and assess risks in the context of life sciences research • Determine strategies to minimize risk, while maintaining the utility and quality of scientific work
Discussion What is a risk analysis? What are the benefits of performing a risk analysis for life sciences research?
Discussion At what stages of research should a risk analysis be performed? What types of information should be part of the analysis?
Risk Analysis Framework Scientific Activities Risk Analysis Risk Identification Plan Project Risk Assessment Continuously identify, assess, manage risks Risk Management Conduct Research Publish or Present Findings Risk Communication Refer to your participant packet for more detail on the risk analysis framework
Discussion “A risk analysis should be performed for all types of life sciences research activities.” Do you agree? Why or why not? What criteria would you use to determine whether a risk analysis should be performed? Are there certain types of experiments that you think should be analyzed more closely?
Dual Use Life Sciences Research What is the role of a dual use research policy in risk analysis and risk mitigation? 1.

Ground Rules for Discussion Focus on analyzing the risks of the research and not on judging the published paper Interact and communicate respectfully with fellow participants and encourage sharing of ideas Do not judge each others’ ideas Use your participant packet to guide your discussions in the risk analysis exercise The facilitator can answer factual questions and help guide thinking about risks and risk mitigation strategies, but participants are responsible for identifying and assessing risk
