The power of many: bridging the molecular and repertoire scales of immune protection
“It is important that tool users and developers consider dual-use nature of advances in biotechnology. While the number of potential beneficial applications dramatically outweigh the number of malicious ones, we must work as a community to minimize any possible misuse. SFAF provides a forum for both spreading awareness of this duality and ensuring that biotechnological advancement is used solely for good.”
