BioWatch Technical Advisory Committee

The BioWatch Technical Advisory Committee is a group of experts that provides guidance on the U.S. government's BioWatch program, which monitors the air for biologic agents that could cause diseases, like anthrax or smallpox. The committee evaluates data, recommends improvements in technology and methods, and ensures the program effectively protects public health. By advising on best practices and innovations, the committee helps to enhance the nation's preparedness against biological threats, ensuring timely detection and response to potential biological attacks or outbreaks.
