The economist has published a opinion piece by NTI's Jaime Yassif, Vice President of NTI Global Biological Policy and Programs. She's previously been interviewed on 80k.

Tldr;

• Advances in duel-use biotechnology are increasing the risk of a accidental / intentional lethal pathogens causing harm
• These include falling prices of DNA synthesis, increases in DNA / RNA suppliers, easier access to lab technologies, easy access to pathogenic genomes through academic journals and an increase BSL 4 research labs doing BSL 4 research (at least 69 BSL research labs operational, planned or under construction globally)
• Though these advances allow for positive research, they also lower the barrier to entry for bad actors
• Safeguards have not kept up with these advances; "According to the Global Health Security Index, which measures biosecurity and pandemic preparedness capacity across 195 countries, as of 2021, 94% of countries had no national-level oversight measures for dual-use research."

Yassif proposes the following;

• Funders of potentially dangerous biotech research should employ more robust review process to minimize downside risks
• Science journals should avoid publishing information hazards 
• Better safety / screening practices among DNA synthesis actors 
• Creation of the International Biosecurity and Biosafety Initiative for Science (IBBIS). This is an independent organization  NTI et al are currently working on, with the goal of strenthing biosecurity norms.
