Jan 2026Sentinel Bio$400,000Biosecuritysentinel_bioWe provided $400,000 to the Asia Centre for Health Security to expand the centre’s work on biosecurity in Asia, with a particular focus on nucleic acid synthesis, AIxBio governance, and regional biosecurity capacity building. We expect this work to support progress towards implementing robust biosecurity policies across Asia’s major life science hubs and identify opportunities for reducing the risks of biotechnology accidents and misuse in Asia and beyond.
Jan 2025Sentinel Bio$75,000Biosecuritysentinel_bioWe provided $75,000 to the Asia Centre for Health Security to expand Dr. Ayelet Berman’s research on nucleic acid governance in Asia. This effort maps the landscape of synthesis providers and regulatory mechanisms in select Asian countries, while building relationships between relevant stakeholders in civil society, industry, and policymakers. We expect this work will help clarify the path forward for implementing robust nucleic acid screening across Asia’s major life science hubs and identify opportunities for reducing the risks of biotechnology accidents and misuse in Asia and beyond.
