Since its establishment, SIPRI has conducted research on technical, institutional and legal aspects of chemical and biological arms control, non-proliferation and disarmament; on historical and current use of chemical weapons; and on biological safety and security issues. Recent research focuses on the Chemical Weapons Convention, emerging technologies, and the security implications of dual-use research and technologies in the life sciences.
