BioWatch Advisory Committee

The BioWatch Advisory Committee is a group of experts that provides advice to the U.S. government on the BioWatch program, which monitors for biological threats like dangerous pathogens. Their role is to review the system's effectiveness, safety, and response strategies, ensuring the early detection of biological agents that could pose a public health risk. The committee offers guidance to improve preparedness, coordinate efforts among agencies, and help make informed decisions to protect communities from bioterrorism and infectious disease outbreaks.
