The current biotech revolution, climate change, rapid urbanization, and increasing drug resistance are rapidly reshaping biosecurity, and we must be prepared for rapidly approaching new problems. To do so requires expert to understand the intersectional issues that government and society must grapple with to confront this new world.
The UK’s recent reframing of biosecurity (BSS, June 2023) now includes complex biological, technological, health, and social threats require the mobilization of new expertise and evidence. Intersections between areas of interest remain poorly understood, and hold the potential to radically alter future trajectories. KALEIDOSCOPE is a new effort to map and explore novel intersectional pathways by building a holistic, interdisciplinary community.
This Wilton Park Dialogue will develop expertise and explore capability gaps in the convergence of biology frontiers, biosecurity, and AMR, opening the door for collaborative research under the new US-UK Strategic Dialogue on biosecurity. It aims to guide the US and UK approaches to AMR and biosecurity as global leaders with the intent to work with allies and across multilateral fora.
