[h=3]Abstract[/h] Gain of Function (GoF) studies to understand factors affecting transmissibility of potentially pandemic pathogens are controversial. EASAC recently published consensus recommendations relating to GoF research review and management on: self-regulation and harmonisation; bioethical considerations; benefit-risk assessment; biosafety and biosecurity advisory options; and publication of sensitive information. A layered approach to integration of responsibilities must include conforming to the stringent rules and guidance already existing. Further commitment is essential to extend the debate on issues worldwide.
