While hazardous biological agents and toxins are inherent to a biomedical institution, the chemicals and radiological materials used to support biomedical research goals have their own unique security requirements. The presence and use of these materials necessitates heightened security measures that must be followed to ensure adherence to federal and state regulations and the safety and health of an institution's employees and the surrounding environment. In this paper, we outline best practices, key considerations, and applicable institutional oversight measures related to laboratory security activities. The laboratory security components we describe are intended to help institutions implement, address, and mitigate the complex security risks associated with laboratory work in biomedical facilities. Leveraging these best practices can ensure a secure work environment by reducing risks of insider threats, intentional theft or misuse of laboratory materials, and release of sensitive information by restricting sensitive information and hazardous material access to only those who require or have a need for it.","PeriodicalId":12955,"journal":{"name":"Health Security","volume":" ","pages":"77-86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147316727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite its high efficacy to neutralize a wide range of pathogens and safety for human tissues, implementation of far UVC is hampered by regulatory gaps, consumer uncertainty, and unanswered research questions surrounding the formation and interaction of generated ozone and volatile oxidative byproducts. This commentary describes targeted recommendations for both epidemic-where rapid far-UVC deployment and ability to counter a wide variety of pathogens in balanced with potential environmental impacts on the indoor environment-and long term implementation scenarios, highlighting the need for human health risk studies, regulatory guidance for fa- UVC devices, and real-world cost benefit analyses, which consider the tradeoffs long term of far UVC and germicidal ultraviolet implementation. Far-UVC technologies demonstrate an exciting opportunity to promote the benefits of germicidal UV disinfection to more indoor spaces. More research is needed, however, to ensure its safe and equitable use and development. This work was in part informed by a workshop held by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, which convened experts from academia, government, and industry to evaluate the scientific and policy considerations for far UVC, comparing the new technology to traditional germicidal ultraviolet.","PeriodicalId":12955,"journal":{"name":"Health Security","volume":" ","pages":"47-54"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146124625","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This landscape review explores recent advancements in AI across these fields, drawing from both grey literature and peer-reviewed studies published between January 2019 and February 2024. AI has demonstrated potential in predicting viral mutations, which could enable earlier detection of outbreaks, and streamlining resource allocation by analyzing diverse data sources. It could also play a crucial role in accelerating the development and deployment of medical countermeasures, such as vaccines and therapeutics. Additionally, use of AI may enhance laboratory automation, reducing human error and increasing biosafety. Despite these promising advancements, significant challenges related to the potential misuse of AI, data security, and privacy concerns necessitate careful implementation and robust governance. This article highlights the rapid progress and vast potential of AI in biosecurity and provides key recommendations for US policymakers to effectively harness AI's capabilities while ensuring safety and security. These recommendations include expanding access to advanced computing resources, fostering collaboration across sectors, and establishing clear regulatory frameworks to support the safe and ethical deployment of AI technologies.","PeriodicalId":12955,"journal":{"name":"Health Security","volume":" ","pages":"66-76"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147270755","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is in part due to the air that circulates within our indoor environments, which can contain a myriad of potentially pathogenic bacteria, fungi, mold, and viruses as well as various allergens. This issue was highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic, due to the highly infectious nature of SARS-CoV-2 and the public measures taken to limit airborne transmission of the pathogen through quarantining, social distancing, and maskwearing. The broad disruption in normal activities and interactions within these indoor environments prompted rethinking how indoor air quality can be improved to further mitigate infectious disease transmission. There is opportunity to accomplish health security and biosurveillance for protecting critical building infrastructures by incorporating existing and new measures for detection and control of microbial burden. Integrating central building controls and systems for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning with ongoing detection of environmental flora and microbes can help identify emerging pathogens and endemic biothreats such as SARS-CoV-2 and Legionella, respectively. This effort, however, will require (1) synergistic funding from 1 or more government agencies and multiple commercial entities to maintain habitable indoor environments and (2) environmental factors on infectious disease emergence and transmission to improve health outcomes and overall national security. In this commentary, we illustrate the importance of indoor air quality through case studies of infectious pathogens, their interaction with indoor environments, and measures to curtail the airborne transmission of respiratory disease.","PeriodicalId":12955,"journal":{"name":"Health Security","volume":" ","pages":"39-46"},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147276216","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common respirator used in healthcare is the N95 filtering facepiece respirator (FFR). Video scoring has been successful in describing the challenges HCWs face with transmission-based precautions in healthcare. This case study explores the critical safety behavioral outcomes of 2 training interventions for respiratory protective equipment use by military HCWs during a Center for Sustainment of Trauma and Readiness Skills course on biocontainment care in Omaha, Nebraska, at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. The study included a knowledge quiz and computer-based educational materials. Behavioral assessment was done by video recording and scoring skills performance during 3 donning and doffing N95 respirator opportunities in the training course. The main finding of the knowledge quiz was the gap in recognition that hand hygiene is warranted after the personal touching required when donning a respirator. The expert scoring of respirator use showed poor performance of critical safety behaviors such as performing the user seal check for the respirator. Training opportunities can be used for data collection related to respirator safety behavior change, but our investigators would recommend isolating the behavioral interest more than this case study was able to do. There were limitations in this project by the nature of combining this assessment with the training course and its dense curriculum. This investigation into respiratory protection equipment behavior interventions during a pandemic may provide for improvement in future educational and behavioral assessment activities.","PeriodicalId":12955,"journal":{"name":"Health Security","volume":"23 6","pages":"456-463"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145722287","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A successful response to such crises demands the swift and ongoing synthesis of information and activities across multiple sectors, including government, healthcare, and private industry. However, these systems are often managed in isolation, leading to misaligned policies, fragmented communications, and inefficiencies that hinder pandemic response efforts. To address these challenges, we propose adopting a systems-of-systems (SOS) paradigm to enhance epidemic intelligence and improve preparedness and response during infectious disease emergencies. The SOS approach, widely used in engineering, offers a framework for integrating diverse fields such as virology, ecology, psychology, and policy. We illustrate the potential of this approach using highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) as a case study and discuss key considerations for implementing SOS thinking in the context of global epidemic intelligence systems.","PeriodicalId":12955,"journal":{"name":"Health Security","volume":"23 6","pages":"400-410"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145722383","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
