Why is biotechnology so strategically important? 

How can the Quad successfully compete with China to harness the opportunities it presents? 

And what is at stake if ethical leadership in this field falters?

Dr Dirk van der Kley is a Research Fellow at the ANU National Security College who specialises on technology competition and innovation between the US and China, with a particular interest in biological technologies. 

David Andrews is Policy Manager at the ANU National Security College.
