Techniques of genetic engineering have allowed significant reconstruction of organisms.

The course will describe the basic principles of training to allow the particpants to develop and carryout internal Biosafety training programmes tailored to different audiences and to evaluate the effectiveness of the training.

Most neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer´s, Parkinson and prion diseases, are associated with unusual forms of proteins that may pose novel and unique biological risks.

There are several situations in R&D or in clinics where the manipulated biological material may present hazards of unknown or unsuspected nature. These activities require a careful assessment of their potential risk and a balanced application of risk management measures.

Biosafety concerns don't end with the end of the work, consideration of what you do with your liquid waste is equally important. The selection and treatment option will be based on risk assessment of the type and volume of the material.

Biosafety concerns don't end with the end of the work, consideration of what you do with your dangerous waste is equally important.

Commissioning and validation are terms that are used in various settings and circumstances. What do they exactly mean in the context of the design, construction, and startup of a biological facility, such as a containment laboratory? Why are they needed and what is their purpose? And what needs to be verified accordingly?

Recent breaches of biosafety and biosecurity have emphasised that management failure is normally the root cause of accidents and incidents with biological agents and toxins.

This two day practical course provides a comprehensive and sound practical introduction to auditing. The course takes participants through the principles, recognized best practices and essential techniques of (HSE / biosafety) auditing. It provides them with guidance on planning and performing of an audit in line with international standards.
