Summary
IBBIS is an international organization focused on strengthening biosecurity and biosafety for the life sciences. It works to prevent misuse of biological research by developing screening tools, standards, and governance frameworks for the scientific community. The organization aims to reduce biosecurity risks while enabling beneficial scientific progress.
Key Points
- •IBBIS develops and promotes nucleic acid synthesis screening tools to prevent dangerous biological materials from being created by bad actors
- •The organization works with governments, industry, and scientific institutions to establish biosecurity norms and standards
- •IBBIS focuses on the intersection of life sciences governance and biosecurity risk reduction relevant to catastrophic biological risks
- •It represents a coordination effort to address dual-use research concerns across the global scientific community
- •Relevant to AI safety as AI-enabled bioweapon design is considered a major catastrophic risk from advanced AI systems

Our Vision
A world in which bioscience and biotechnology can advance and flourish safely and responsibly.
Our Mission
The International Biosecurity and Biosafety Initiative for Science (IBBIS) works collaboratively with global partners to strengthen biosecurity norms and develop innovative tools to uphold them. We undertake this work to safeguard science and reduce the risk of catastrophic events that could result from deliberate abuse or accidental misuse of bioscience and biotechnology.
Our Work
IBBIS is the only independent organization with a primary mission dedicated to reducing emerging biological risks associated with technology advances. We address risk-reduction opportunities throughout the bioscience research and development lifecycle to incorporate effective risk-reduction practices at every stage — from project conceptualization and funding, through research execution, and on to publication or commercialization.
Currently, [our work](https://ibbis.bio/our-work/) focuses on mapping where synthetic
