21 de ago. de 2024 · A first for Latin America. The lab, dubbed Orion, is being constructed at the Brazilian Center for Research in Energy and Materials (CNPEM) in Campinas, about 100 kilometres northwest of São Paulo,...
23 de ago. de 2024 · Containment procedures, disinfection routines, secured access, and inventory controls provide additional layers of protection. Any proposals to modify or enhance pathogens using gain-of-function techniques or synthetic biology demand rigorous scrutiny and regulatory approvals, not prohibition.
25 de ago. de 2024 · Orion will not only become in the coming years the first maximum biological containment laboratory located in South America, but it will also be the first in the world to be equipped with a synchrotron that is, a particle accelerator capable of generating high-power radiation to take images.
Hace 3 días · Then, when resistant viruses arise, patient caretakers can switch to other available treatments. However, to study the development of resistance with dangerous viruses is considered as ‘gain-of-function’ research, which is highly controversial and experiments have to be performed with high biological containment to prevent biosafety breaches.
19 de ago. de 2024 · In this commentary, we propose 7 areas where new legislation, regulation, guidelines, and standards could impact policy conversations taking place in government deliberations: (1) a single, transparent biological incident reporting system; (2) design and construction requirements for high-containment laboratories; (3) mandated ...
22 de ago. de 2024 · This state-of-the-art complex will allow Brazilian researchers to study local pathogens that were previously inaccessible due to a lack of proper containment facilities. Brazil will no longer need to send biological samples abroad for research.
21 de ago. de 2024 · Project Orion will be a laboratory complex for advanced pathogen research, featuring Latin America’s first high and maximum biological containment level facilities (BSL-4), the world’s only such laboratories connected to a particle accelerator, Sirius.
