Biosafety and laboratory biosecurity
Collaborating Centres, Biosafety Advisory Group (BAG) and other partners
Five WHO biosafety Collaborating Centres support the Global Biosafety and Laboratory biosecurity programme. They each have nominated a focal point to be a member of the WHO Biosafety Advisory Group (BAG) to support the programme. The BAG meets regularly to address outstanding biosafety and laboratory biosecurity issues, to discuss activities, projects and collaborations.
