Triad of Future Biosecurity: Genomic Surveillance, Big Data and Mobile Technologies

February, 13

10:00–11:30

Technological Sovereignty in Biological Safety

World Trade Center Moscow, entrance No. 4, 2nd floor, conference hall 6

Russia is one of the leaders in ensuring biological safety and, as such, provides assistance to other states in this area. A triad of technologies is successfully used to timely forecast and promptly respond to biological safety threats and provides an analysis of the sanitary and epidemiological situation in the country: genomic surveillance, mobile technologies and big data analytics (including AI analytics), and big data, super-integration technologies. Already today, an entire infrastructure has been created, including mobile laboratory complexes, which allow, in nearly real time, to identify new pathogens and changes in the virulence of known strains of bacteria circulating in Russia and neighbouring countries. Enhancing technologies that make it possible to quickly identify new pathogens is a strategically important mission for Russia and will allow us to analyse the situation so authorities can react quickly and proactively. Which technologies for genomic surveillance and big data analysis for biosafety are available today and are being implemented both in Russia and around the world? What will the mobile laboratories of the future be like and what innovations will influence their development? What developments are most effective for promptly responding to threats and increasing the level of biosafety in Russia?
