Biosafety and Biosecurity
If the Safety and Security requirements in biological laboratories and production facilities need to be clarified, we advise building owners, architects, consultants and users. We work for biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies, research institutions, authorities and organizations in Switzerland and internationally across all safety levels, from BSL1-4, vetBSL2-4 to ABSL2-4.
Biological safety concepts to protect people, animals and the environment
Our team of biosafety experts uniquely combines expertise in human and veterinary biosafety up to maximum safety laboratories with knowledge and experience from basic biomedical research, biotechnology, diagnostics, the pharmaceutical industry and vaccine production (incl. GAP IV) as well as environmental safety. The team has been built up over the past decades by the internationally recognised biosafety expert and certifier Dr Felix Gmünder. We support our customers in the safe handling of pathogenic, genetically modified or alien organisms, to develop efficient, risk-based and legally compliant biosecurity solutions in line with the current state of the art.
