Join us for an in-person Distinguished Panel event featuring biosafety experts Doni Bloomfield (Fordham NYC), Nicole Kikendall (Argonne), and Daniel Eisenman (Advarra), moderated by Mohammad Hosseini.

Title: "AI & Biosecurity"

This session will explore how artificial intelligence and laboratory robotics are increasingly being used in biomedical research involving biohazardous materials, and what this means for biosafety and biosecurity oversight. The panelist will discuss the continuing responsibility of investigators to conduct thorough risk assessment and mitigation. The presentation will consider how Institutional Biosafety Committees and related governance frameworks may need to evolve to address oversight of AI-enabled research, laboratory automation, and associated cybersecurity considerations.

Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.
