The Centers for Disease Control has a certain mystery about it, and the museum housed in its facility is no exception. After going through many different layers of security, we finally got to tour the David J. Sencer Centers for Disease Control Museum. Multimedia exhibits teach the public about different epidemics, everything from AIDS, malaria, Ebola and polio to smoking and obesity. It was humbling to stand in this place knowing that this organization not only teaches about outbreaks and prevention, but it also works to find treatment, prevent epidemics and eradicate the diseases that plague humankind. Join us as we take you on a history of disease on this episode of Stories, Secrets and Sagas.
EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Since the beginning of our history, humankind, bacteria and viruses have lived and died together — literally. These are the things nightmares are made of. And here in Atlanta, at the David J. Sencer Centers for Disease Control Museum, visitors learn about the past and that continuing battle between humankind and disease.
Originally called the Global Health Odyssey Museum, it was established in 1996 as a way to educate the public on prevention-based health while sharing the heritage and accomplishments of the CDC, all under one roof.
And in essence, if any one of the scientists at the CDC needed a new occupation, they would fit very well into detective work. Because, that is precisely what they do here — old-fashioned detective work with high-tech science to crack the cases of mystery diseases.
Think about it for a minute if you dare. Think about all the diseases in the past that have ravaged our population. Smallpox, tuberculosis, syphilis, polio, AIDS, influenza, bubonic plague, cholera, malaria, yellow fever, two noninfectious diseases (hemophilia and porphyria), and the plant disease behind the Irish Potato Famine—have altered human history.
And then, take a deep breath and realize the CDC has helped to control and eradicate many of them.
At the museum you will see many things —artifacts from the past, multimedia exhibits, in-depth displays.
The CDC is continually working on ways to protect the public from disease. From eradication of Malaria in the United States in 1946, to their ongoing battles fighting autism and obesity, without this organization many of us would not be here.
As long as we exist, diseases will exist. And as long as diseases exist, the CDC will be here, working hard to protect us.
We’ll see you next time on Stories, Secrets and Sagas!

Webinar: Global Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)
Disease knows no borders. CDC's global activities protect Americans from major health threats such as Ebola, Zika, and pandemic influenza and adverse economic impact. CDC detects and controls outbreaks at their source, saving lives and reducing healthcare costs. As importantly, CDC helps other countries build capacity to prevent, detect, and respond to health threats through its work. The knowledge and lessons learned from CDC's work abroad are critical to our public health efforts at home, and to protecting Americans.
CDC works in more than 60 countries, working with ministries of health, the World Health Organization (WHO) and many other partners on the front lines where outbreaks may occur. It addresses global health crises that can extend beyond the health sector to contribute to creating more stable societies, including the growing burden of non-communicable diseases.
Join Dr. Hamid Jafari, CDC Center for Global Health Principal Deputy Director, as he walks us through the structure and activities of CDC's global health center in the United States and abroad. Dr. Jafari's presentation will be followed by a moderated audience Q&A session.

Original broadcast: 07/19/2018
In this webinar, Advarra’s Director of Biosafety Services Daniel Eisenman, PhD, RBP, SM(NRCM), CBSP, discusses the basics of research involving genetic engineering and the role played by the IBC in ensuring research is conducted safely and responsibly.
The field of gene therapy is quickly growing in the United States and around the world as the US FDA and regulatory agencies at several other countries have begun issuing approvals for licensed gene therapy products. Clinical trials involving human gene transfer are becoming increasingly common, not just at large academic medical centers, but at smaller clinical research sites. The field is growing particularly fast in oncology, infectious diseases and diseases caused by a single defective gene. For human gene transfer studies receiving federal funds or taking place at sites receiving federal funds, federal requirements call for review by both an IRB and an IBC prior to registering with the National Institutes of Health (NIH). Further review may be required by the NIH Recombinant DNA Advisory Committee (RAC).

SUMMARY
=======
The National Microbiology Laboratory (NML) is part of the Infectious Disease Prevention and Control Branch of the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC), the agency of the Government of Canada that is responsible for public health, health emergency preparedness and response, and infectious and chronic disease control and prevention.
NML is located in several sites across the country including the Canadian Science Centre for Human and Animal Health (CSCHAH) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, also home to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency’s National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease. This modern state-of-the-art infectious disease laboratory facility houses the only Containment Level 4 (also known as Biosafety Level 4) operational laboratories in Canada. With maximum containment, scientists are able to work safely with pathogens ranging from the most common to the most serious including Ebola, Marburg and Lassa fever.
NML has a second site in Winnipeg, the JC Wilt Infectious Disease Research Centre on Logan Avenue which serves as a hub for HIV research and diagnostics in Canada. The three other primary sites include locations in Guelph, St. Hyacinthe and Lethbridge.

SUMMARY
=======
Biosafety is the prevention of large-scale loss of biological integrity, focusing both on ecology and human health.
These prevention mechanisms include conduction of regular reviews of the biosafety in laboratory settings, as well as strict guidelines to follow. Biosafety is used to protect from harmful incidents. Many laboratories handling biohazards employ an ongoing risk management assessment and enforcement process for biosafety. Failures to follow such protocols can lead to increased risk of exposure to biohazards or pathogens. Human error and poor technique contribute to unnecessary exposure and compromise the best safeguards set into place for protection.
The international Cartagena Protocol on Biosafety deals primarily with the agricultural definition but many advocacy groups seek to expand it to include post-genetic threats: new molecules, artificial life forms, and even robots which may compete directly in the natural food chain.
Biosafety in agriculture, chemistry, medicine, exobiology and beyond will likely require the application of the precautionary principle, and a new definition focused on the biological nature of the threatened organism rather than the nature of the threat.
When biological warfare or new, currently hypothetical, threats (i.e., robots, new artificial bacteria) are considered, biosafety precautions are generally not sufficient. (link to incident report, i.e. such as problems with CDC research labs in 2014)The new field of biosecurity addresses these complex threats.
Biosafety level refers to the stringency of biocontainment precautions deemed necessary by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for laboratory work with infectious materials.
Typically, institutions that experiment with or create potentially harmful biological material will have a committee or board of supervisors that is in charge of the institution's biosafety. They create and monitor the biosafety standards that must be met by labs in order to prevent the accidental release of potentially destructive biological material. (note that in the US, several groups are involved, and efforts are being made to improve processes for government run labs, but there is no unifying regulatory authority for all labs.
Biosafety is related to several fields:
In ecology (referring to imported life forms from beyond ecoregion borders),
In agriculture (reducing the risk of alien viral or transgenic genes, genetic engineering or prions such as BSE/MadCow, reducing the risk of food bacterial contamination)
In medicine (referring to organs or tissues from biological origin, or genetic therapy products, virus; levels of lab containment protocols measured as 1, 2, 3, 4 in rising order of danger),
In chemistry (i.e., nitrates in water, PCB levels affecting fertility)
In exobiology (i.e., NASA's policy for containing alien microbes that may exist on space samples. See planetary protection and interplanetary contamination), and
In synthetic biology (referring to the risks associated with this type of lab practice)
Nightstalker of the cDc Interview Defcon 7, 1999
A very poor rip from a poor copy of a crappy videotape made at Defcon 7. This part of the interview with Nightstalker of the cDc became a huge inspiration for me in my life. His death on June 15th, 2012 motivated me to rip this and share.
The video is terrible and gives up at the end , but the audio and more importantly, his words made it through

SUMMARY
=======
The concept of biocontainment is related to laboratory biosafety and pertains to microbiology laboratories in which the physical containment of pathogenic organisms or agents (bacteria, viruses, and toxins) is required, usually by isolation in environmentally and biologically secure cabinets or rooms, to prevent accidental infection of workers or release into the surrounding community during scientific research. The term biocontainment was coined in 1985, but the concept stretches back at least to the 1940s.
