Biological safety : principles and practices /

Biological safety and biosecurity protocols are essential to the reputation and responsibility of every scientific institution, whether research, academic, or production. Every risk - no matter how small - must be considered, assessed, and properly mitigated. If the science is not safe, it is not go...
