摘要

The innovations and developments in microbiology, biomedical sciences, and biotechnology come along with the challenges of biologicalrisk (biorisk). Biorisk is defined as the "combination of the probability of occurrence of harm and the severity of that harm where the sourceof harm is a biological agent or toxin." Biorisk is a borderless challenge to the global community. Hence, all universities, colleges, centers ofbio-excellence, and institutions of higher learning can and should do their bit to educate technical members, academicians, students andstakeholders (LASS) for the efficient and comprehensive biorisk management (BRM) for our and future generations safety andsustainability.
