Proposed Projects between UP Manila and US BEP and other potential partners• One-year modular program to build human capacity in
laboratory biosafety and biosecurity jointly by US-BEP, UP Manila and PhBBA through a training of trainors
• UP Manila is building a BSL 3 laboratory considering its potential roles in pharmaceutical development and biotechnology and genomic research. Draft plan has been reviewed by the US BEP. However we need to we need to train members of the UP Manila Technical Working train members of the UP Manila Technical Working Group) in preparation for the construction of the UPM Group) in preparation for the construction of the UPM Biosafety LevelBiosafety Level--3 (BSL3 (BSL--3) facility3) facility
• biosafety and biosecurity risk assessment• laboratory vivarium biosafety and biosecurity• biocontainment practices and procedures• biocontainment facilities• use of safety equipment• incident response procedures• infectious substance transport• biosafety program management• management of transgenic materials • regulatory framework of transgenic materials
Other on-going initiatives
• Participation in meetings on Dual Use Research in the Life Sciences and subsequent echo seminars for awareness raising
• Training for CBRNE and HAZMAT Emergency Response in partnerships with international governments such as the US, Canada, Japan and Australia
• Proposal for Regional Activities on Biological Security by the EU
