Being elected as the President of Pakistan Biological Safety Association (PBSA) is a true honour for me. I believe that promoting awareness, knowledge and understanding of biosafety at the regional and national level is responsibility of each member and trainer of the PBSA. This organization is commended in many of the national and international forums for its preventive training for Risk Assessment and management, that was much needed at the time of COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, it has promoted strong collaborations and affiliations with various Biosafety developmental programs that align with international standards to acknowledge and recognize biosafety as a separate scientific discipline within Pakistan. I strongly agree that “no one is safe until everyone is safe”, and would like to work with the PBSA team to implement this approach as far and wide as possible.
Pakistan Biological Safety Association (PBSA) in collaboration with Fogarty International Center (FIC) will be hosting their first National Virtual Biosafety and Biosecurity Conference. This conference will focus on the following theme areas:
• Biological Risk Management (Biosafety and Biosecurity) lessons learnt from the pandemic
