Introducing the BRAP Twin Talks 2024, a captivating series of webinars that showcases the remarkable graduates of the Certified Biosafety Officers Expertise Training Course (CBPetc) by the BioRisk Association of the Philippines 2015, Inc.
These individuals have successfully completed a rigorous and immersive expertise training course, lasting seven months. Through a combination of virtual and in-person sessions, they have dedicated a remarkable total of 240 learning hours to enhance their knowledge and skills in biosafety, biosecurity and biorisk management.
The graduates have also presented their capstone projects, which highlight their exceptional ability to create, implement, and monitor biosafety, biosecurity, and biorisk management systems within their respective institutions. Furthermore, each CBPetc graduate has been given the prestigious opportunity to take and successfully pass the International Federation of Biosafety Associations professional certification exam.
The primary objective of the Twin Talks Series is to provide these accomplished individuals with a platform to share their wealth of knowledge and expertise as resource speakers, both within their own institutions and in their fields of specialization. In this series, the graduates will present in pairs, thus the term “twin,” offering comprehensive talks on topics of their choice. Their presentations aim to guide and assist all those interested in implementing effective and robust biosafety programs in their own institutions.
With their deep understanding of biosafety practices and their diverse perspectives, the Twin Talks Series promises to be an enriching experience for all attendees. Join us as we delve into the correct and robust ways of establishing biosafety programs in your institutions.
Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity for valuable insights and guidance. Stay tuned for the start of the Twin Talks Series and prepare to be inspired!

The World Health Assembly #WHA77 has taken a significant step forward by endorsing a resolution on strengthening laboratory biological risk management, a crucial component of health security. This comprehensive resolution emphasizes laboratory biosafety and biosecurity, addressing both unintentional and intentional exposure or release of biological materials.
Member States are called upon to:
– Develop or update national plans to include biological risk mitigation and management.
– Enhance the capacity of human resources in this critical area.
– Promote a risk-based approach and a culture of biosafety and biosecurity.
Additionally, WHO is tasked with providing technical assistance, monitoring developments and convening discussions to develop standards. This resolution marks a pivotal moment in fortifying our global health security framework!
