Introduction:

On July 26, 2019, the workshop “Biosafety and Biosecurity in the Era of Synthetic Biology: Meeting the Challenges in China and the U.S.”, co-hosted by Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security and Tianjin University Centre for Biosafety Research & Strategy, was held in Washington, D.C. of the United States. The goal of this workshop was to bring technical and policy experts from China and the U.S., as well as experts from Europe, together to develop a mutual understanding of each country’s current governance structures and to begin a dialogue on what is required to promote global biosafety and biosecurity.
