Game Changers: Cures for 21st century biological threats

On Friday, April 10, at 10:00 a.m. ET, the Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense at the Atlantic Council will host its latest meeting, examining how biodefense technology innovators are achieving success and taking on challenges in an ever-changing threat environment.

Biotechnology has accelerated at a rapid pace, driven in part by federal investment and policy. Advances in biological sciences create new opportunities for addressing biological events, and the public and private sectors at all levels have a role to play in bolstering these efforts. This meeting of the commission will discuss the biological threat to humans, food and agriculture. The discussions will also touch upon the state of biotechnology innovation and federal regulation, research, and development activities.
