biodefense research and development

Biodefense research and development focuses on protecting people and environments from biological threats, such as viruses, bacteria, and toxins that could be intentionally released or occur naturally. This field involves creating vaccines, treatments, and detection methods to respond to outbreaks or bioterrorism. Researchers study pathogens, enhance public health preparedness, and develop strategies to safeguard communities. By understanding these biological threats, scientists aim to prevent, mitigate, and respond effectively to potential health crises, ensuring safety and resilience against biological risks.
