Our experts support you with biorisk management and compliance by navigating you through the complex biosafety and biotechnology regulations. Biorisk management covers all aspects of biological safety and security such as inventory management, risk assessment, containment and confinement requirements, training, audit, transport, waste handling, and emergency preparedness. Our team integrates technical background with an in-depth knowledge of the European regulatory requirements for biological material, including genetically modified organisms. We provide assistance in complying with complex regulatory requirements on contained use, workers' protection, pathogens, import and export, emergency planning, deliberate releases such as field trials and clinical trials, and commercial applications. We have a track record in advising on design, following up construction and commissioning, and managing biological safety and operations of up to biosafety level 3 facilities ranging from research laboratories, large-scale production plants, clinical, hospital, and gene therapy settings to plant and animal bio-containment facilities. For genetically modified material, we offer extensive expertise in all life cycle phases, including those that extend beyond containment (e.g. field trials, commercial applications, movement of materials, and imports).
