Biosecurity: Changing the Game

• Genomic Surveillance: A Biosecurity tool for deterrence, detection, and response to emerging threats

  This episode of Biosecurity: Changing the Game is all about genomic surveillance — one of the most powerful tools we have for preventing the next pandemic or bioterror event. It’s a story about technology, intelligence, and trust — and how sequencing tiny bits of genetic code can help us detect threats early, attribute their origins, and even deter malicious actors. Dr. Dinah Nasike explores this topic with guests from Ginkgo Bioworks - Joshua Griffin Dunn who is the Senior Director, Computational Biology and Head of Design; and Mitchell Wolfe who is the Vice President for Global Engagement and Governance at Ginkgo.
