Biodefense researchers use biomedical technology to help develop safeguards against the threat of bioterrorism. Biodefense research ranges from basic biology to clinical development of new vaccines, therapies, and diagnostic tools. This research draws upon the skills, expertise, and interests of scientists in various disciplines, such as bacteriology, virology, immunology, and genomics, to name a few.
Biodefense : About Biodefense
Improving our nation’s defenses against bioterrorism is a key part of the U.S. government’s homeland security effort. The president's 2004 budget allocates more than $41 billion for homeland security, of which approximately $3.8 billion will go to the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) to fund biodefense research. Part of this biodefense money will go toward improving state and local health systems and their ability to cooperate with the federal government during a bioterrorism emergency.
Within the DHHS biodefense budget, nearly $1.6 billion will support research at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), part of the National Institutes of Health, to conduct basic research on potential agents of bioterrorism as well as develop medical tools to detect and counter the effects of a bioterrorist attack. These tools comprise new and improved products, including
Vaccines to immunize the public against diseases caused by bioterrorism agents
Diagnostic tests to help first responders and other medical personnel rapidly detect exposure and provide treatment
Therapies to help patients exposed to bioterrorism agents regain their health
