Breaking News: 2025 Korea Biological Safety Conference to Strengthen National Biological Safety Management System
Important Event for Biological Safety Management in Korea
The 2025 Korea Biological Safety Conference is set to take place from June 12 to 13 at the Sonokhak Resort in Geoje-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, with the aim of developing a robust national biological safety management system and fostering collaboration between key organizations.
Two days will be devoted to sharing the latest research, technologies, and management strategies in biological safety, ensuring that Korea stays at the forefront of this critical field. The event promises to bring together experts from diverse backgrounds to share insights and discuss the future direction of biological safety management in the country.
Biological Safety: A Crucial Global Concern
The concept of biological safety encompasses knowledge, technology, and management systems that prevent and manage risks associated with pathogens and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). With the increasing use of GM products in modern biotechnology, the importance of biological safety has grown significantly.
The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) is expected to highlight the significance of biological safety, with in-depth discussions on domestic and international issues and management plans, aiming to shape Korea’s national biological safety policy.
Focus Topics and Key Presentations
The conference will cover a range of topics, including virus outbreaks in Africa, biological safety measures for healthcare workers, securing bio-support for overseas soldiers, and monitoring mediated diseases in animal fields. Key presenters such as Dr. Kim Hee-young from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, will share insights on biological safety research facilities and infectious disease research.
“Through the Corona 19 Pandemi, we have confirmed the importance of strengthening the national biological safety management capacity to prepare for the threat of new infectious diseases,” noted Ji Young-mi, the KCDC head. “This conference will be a meaningful place to find ways to cooperate together, and various opinions and proposals discussed here will be a valuable foundation for developing the biological safety management policy in Korea.”
Collaboration Across Ministries and Institutions
The conference will be a joint effort, co-hosted by five ministries and organized by the Korea Biological Safety Association. It will feature preliminary sessions focusing on maintaining biological safety facilities and operational management. The event will also recognize merits and contributions to biological safety development through awards.
Exploring the Future of Biological Safety
With global health security at the forefront, the conversations at the 2025 Korea Biological Safety Conference will have far-reaching implications. By combining expertise, technology, and collaboration, Korea aims to lead the way in biological safety management, offering valuable lessons and strategies for other nations to follow.
