Editorial: Insights in biosafety and biosecurity 2022/2023: novel developments, current challenges, and future perspectives

“…To address this need, in 2021, Frontiers developed a Research Topic entitled “ Insights in Biosafety and Biosecurity 2021: Novel Developments, Current Challenges, and Future Perspectives,” which was co-edited by Pillai and Raybould (2023) .

The co-editors wish to acknowledge Dr. Raybould’s leadership and contributions to this important Research Topic.…”
