This page lists dual use, export controlled pathogens. Any shipment of these pathogens outside of the US without an export license may lead to severe civil and/or criminal penalties. Contact Stanford's Export Control Officer at least two months ahead of time if your research requires shipping an export control-listed pathogen outside of the US.

Additionally, proprietary or disclosure-restricted technologies that release information required for the development or production of dual use, export controlled pathogens are also export controlled, and generally may not be shared with foreign nationals without a "deemed export" license. Stanford will not accept information or technology that requires a deemed export license; a memorandum from the Dean of Research addresses this.

In addition to the pathogens listed below, any "biological agent or biologically derived substance specifically developed or modified to increase its capability to produce casualties in humans or livestock or to degrade equipment or damage crops" is treated as a defense article under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). These items always require an export license before being shipped to or shared with foreign persons. As with dual use technologies, Stanford does not permit the use of ITAR-controlled technologies in the conduct of research when foreign national access would require an export license.

In the unlikely event that you require ITAR-controlled biological materials at Stanford, contact Steve Eisner in the Office of the Dean of Research (steve.eisner@stanford.edu, 724-7072) BEFORE any of these agents or substances are brought onto Stanford premises.
