Gain-of-function research
Topic
Gain-of-function research is a field of medical research that genetically alters organisms to enhance their biological functions, such as pathogenesis, transmissibility, or host range. This research is primarily intended to improve prediction of emerging infectious diseases and to aid in the development of vaccines and therapeutics. However, it also carries significant biosafety and biosecurity risks, often classifying it as dual-use research of concern.
