Neuroscience and the Problem of Dual Use by Malcolm R Dando

This book discusses recent brain research and the potentially dangerous dual-use applications of the findings of these research projects.

“Neuroscience and the Problem of Dual Use puts modern brain science into perspective for all readersDando's insights and analyses are crucial to making lasting and robust policies to further nonproliferation regimes, and this book serves as a foundation for neuroS/T dual‐use research of concern as we emerge from the COVID‐19 pandemic.” (Joseph DeFranco, World Medical & Health Policy, January 28, 2021)

Malcolm Dando is a biologist researching international security at the University of Bradford’s Department of Peace Studies with a focus on chemical and biological weapons, arms control, and biosecurity. Dando previously held a Ministry of Defence-funded fellowship in operational research at the University of Sussex.

During the last 26 years, he has worked on strengthening the chemical and biological disarmament regime. He has produced numerous books, papers and policy-related reports in two key areas: the implications of advances in science for the regime and the awareness and education of scientists about dual-use. His key achievements have been to demonstrate the generally low level of awareness of scientists about dual-use, to develop active-learning, educational material on dual-use for scientists and to show that neuroscience is a critical field in which erosion of the regime could occur.
