Research Programs
We respond to complex biosecurity issues by bringing together multidisciplinary research expertise.
Our research is divided into three program streams:

Program 1: Technologies to Enhance Detection
Developing new and improved detection methods for significant emerging infectious disease threats.

Program 2: Ecology of Emerging Infectious Diseases
Studying the disease ecology of prioritised emerging infectious disease threats.

Program 3: Advanced Surveillance Systems
Developing new disease surveillance support tools and systems to provide disease control authorities with improved scientific basis for decision–making.

BRISC- Biosecurity Risk Intelligence Scanning Committee
Biosecurity Risk Intelligence Scanning Committee have established the BRISC project to use foresight and forecasting to identify biosecurity risks and opportunities arising from emerging infectious disease.
