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) congratulates the endeavors of Dr. Furqan Kabir, one of our Bioprism trainers, for being selected as a Topic Editor in “Frontiers in Public Health-section Disaster and Emergency Medicine” (Impact Factor 2.483) for the research topic: “iorisk Management, Laboratory Acquired Infections and Clinical Containment”.
