Chemical and Biological Threats
Our work on chemical and biological threats shines a light on underexplored challenges from unconventional weapons of mass destruction.
Chemical and biological weapons pose a threat to international security. Their possession and use is prohibited by international treaties, but some states continue to maintain covert programmes.
Our research on chemical and biological threats explores particular programmes of concern, as well as broader issues facing the Chemical Weapons Convention and the Biological Weapons Convention.
