Future Pathways for Governing Biological Research
Crossbow Analytics participated in an exercise for the University of Cambridge's Centre for the Study of Existential Risk. The exercise examined how to build a better collective understanding of the possible implications of efforts to enhance biological technology and research governance.
“Infectious Incentives”: Red Teaming the Post-COVID-19 Biological Weapons Threat Landscape
Crossbow Analytics participated in an exercise with colleagues at the State University of New York--Albany to examine whether COVID-19 might incentivize or disincentivize States from developing biological weapons. SUNY-Albany undertook this project with the US Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA).
