Berkeley Electronic Press is pleased to announce the addition of a new peer-reviewed journal, Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety and Biodefense Law, to our collection.
The Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety and Biodefense Law offers both a legal and scientific perspective on current issues concerning bioterrorism, public health and safety, and national security. Edited by an international board of leading scholars from all the continents, our journal is aware that bioterrorism related issues are global problems. Our goal is to develop a unique international community of legal scholars, scientists and policy experts who will address current issues in these fields.
In working with both the legal and scientific community, we have identified a need for enhanced communication and research between lawmakers and biodefense researchers and safety officers concerning regulations governing Select Agents, and a knowledge gap in the fields of biosafety, biosecurity and biodefense law. This journal bridges that gap by creating a timely, peer-reviewed forum available to the legal community, healthcare professionals, biodefense researchers, scientists and biosafety officers.

About this journal
The Journal of Biosecurity, Biosafety and Biodefense Law (JBBBL) offers an electronic forum for scholarly works covering both legal and scientific issues in the areas of biosafety, biosecurity, and biodefense law, from both a domestic and international perspective. There is a need for collaboration among scientists, government, health care professionals and lawyers in protecting national security interests, and public health and safety. The emerging fields of biosecurity, biosafety and biodefense will continue to grow and be legal topics of great interest. This journal will promote legal education and knowledge in these areas to better inform and prepare our lawyers, scientists, researchers and safety officers to deal with future issues of national security, safety and the public health of our communities. Edited by an international board of leading scholars, our goal is to foster a unique international community of legal scholars, scientists and policy experts who will cover current issues in biosecurity, biosafety, and biodefense law.
