Our mission.

GEBI is a global, youth-led initiative establishing a biosecurity talent pipeline and stronger, more inclusive ecosystems across the world.

Our mission

To cultivate, connect, and empower the next generation of biosecurity professionals by expanding access to training, community, and opportunities—everywhere.

What we do

  • Build a global community

  • Expand training access

  • Support local initiatives

  • Connect talent to opportunities

Our view: biosecurity is an umbrella field.

A connecting space where many disciplines come together to prevent, prepare for, and respond to biological threats.

Core Pillars

  1. Access

    Training, community and opportunity that don’t depend on where someone starts.

  2. Local roots

    Programs grow out of hubs that already exist, in the places that need them most.

  3. Early-career, by early-career

    Built by and for students and early-career people, not handed down to them.

  4. Continuity

    Each step leads to the next, so talent stays in the field instead of leaving it.
