The biotechnology world is embracing a powerful tool from cybersecurity: red teaming. To enhance biosecurity, stress tests are challenging the screening systems of DNA and RNA synthesis providers. Recent findings caught the attention of both the scientific community and policymakers. In 2023, the White House issued an Executive Order on AI that called for stress testing of nucleic acid synthesis procurement screening. For providers of synthetic nucleic acids, the message is clear: Adopt robust screening protocols or risk failing these tests. It's not just about compliance - it’s about building trust, demonstrating commitment to safety, and safeguarding reputation. Companies that implement stringent screening protocols will not only mitigate risks but also strengthen their industry position.

We're hosting a second session of our deep dive with #RTXBBN on the U.S. government’s “Framework for Nucleic Acid Synthesis Screening”. Learn more about the new screening requirements for providers of all DNA/RNA including CROs, CDMOs, and gene and oligo synthesis services. Hear from thought leaders from Battelle, International Biosecurity and Biosafety Initiative for Science (IBBIS), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and Twist Bioscience.

?? Synthesis and Cloning Providers — Screening Is a Competitive Advantage The White House is issuing new legislation that mandates screening certification for vendors working with government agencies, academic institutions, and federal contractors. ?? Leading providers like Integrated DNA Technologies, Thermo Fisher Scientific, and Twist Bioscience are already using screening to get ahead of the curve. ?? Don't risk disruptions to your customer contracts and workflows - start getting certified now. ?? To learn more about the new standards, the implications and opportunities, and how to get started with an automated screening tool like Aclid see the link below: ?? https://lnkd.in/eUMePMWN

We'll be at SynBioBeta this year talking about all things biosecurity. We hope to see some of you there!
