Abstract
<jats:p>In the modern world, the national security architecture of states is undergoing radical transformations, at the center of which non-traditional threats—particularly risks of a biological nature—increasingly appear. The current pace of globalization, the rapid development of biotechnologies, the accessibility of “dual-use” research, as well as the pandemic shocks of recent years, have made it evident that the prevention and neutralization of biological threats require not only professional capacity but also clear, flexible, and effective mechanisms of public administration. In this context, the study of the forms and characteristics of the activities of public administration bodies in the field of biosafety assurance is of significant scientific and practical interest, as it is the institutional frameworks that determine the timeliness and adequacy of state response in crisis situations. The role of the public administration system in the process of effectively countering biological threats is comprehensive, encompassing areas ranging from legal regulation to public communication, and from financing to international cooperation. Therefore, their reform and modernization constitute one of the key conditions for ensuring state security in the face of future pandemics and biological threats.</jats:p>
