Research Report for the Wellcome Trust Project on Building a Sustainable Capacity in Dual-Use Bioethics
By Masamichi Minehata & David Friedman
This report considered what possible tools could be employed in Israel to help promote biosecurity education and awareness amongst life scientists about dual-use issues. It attempted to investigate the current state of biosecurity education for life scientists at research universities in Israel by sampling 35 academic courses from 6 research universities, mainly in bioethics topics. The results suggested that no specific module on biosecurity was found, results consistent with other studies, however, 4 biosafety modules and 28 bioethics modules were discovered.
