November Technical Seminar 

Wednesday, November 12, 2025 

Adam Fleming, PhD, CBSP from Deloitte will present his

ABSA International Richard Knudsen Award-winning presentation

"Rate of Errors During Routine Biological Manipulation"

Quantitative data informing biosafety practices have long been lacking. In this study, we describe the conduct of the first large-scale investigation into human reliability in the life sciences laboratory to estimate an error rate during routine biological experiments. To generate these critical data, we conducted two sets of experiments: blinded experiments in clinical laboratories in Brazil, Jordan, and Tunisia, and volunteer experiments in training laboratories in two U.S. universities.

Dr. Fleming was one of two lead authors of the revision of the WHO Global Action Plan for Poliovirus Containment and has extensive experience designing and delivering biorisk management capacity-building workshops worldwide. He currently serves as a subject matter specialist supporting projects for U.S. federal agencies and commercial clients, with previous experience as a biosafety officer and responsible official in BSL-2 and BSL-3 laboratories.
