Biosecurity Intelligence and Threat Detection Framework
Established an early-stage capability to detect and assess emerging biological threats leveraging advanced gene-editing technologies.
Situation
As gene-editing technologies became more accessible, concerns emerged regarding their potential misuse in adversarial contexts. The client was engaged to support national-level understanding of emerging biosecurity risks.
Solution
A biosecurity-focused analytical framework was developed emphasizing detection, attribution, and early warning capabilities without reliance on sensitive operational disclosures.
