Safeguarding Biological Research.

Working to usher in a future of safe and transformative biotechnologies.

About CBH

The Cambridge Biosecurity Hub (CBH) is a team of researchers investigating and raising awareness of the risks associated with rapidly developing biotechnologies. Our projects aim to make progress on both technical and policy issues within biosecurity.

What we do

CBH is collaberating with ERA to run the first AIxBio Fellowship

It is an 8-week, fully funded research fellowship at Cambridge, UK, from January 26 - March 20, 2026.

Our aim is for fellows to work on concrete projects mitigating biosecurity risks, including those amplified by frontier AI.
