Bio-Terrorism and the Flu Pandemic Conference
Filed in archive Food and Agriculture , Meetings and Other Events on July 15, 2005

In the aftermath of the London bombings, it is comforting to know that the Fraunhofer USA's Center for Molecular Biotechnology (CMB) will host a conference that will bring together leading scientists from around the globe to update each other on advances and issues relating to Homeland Security, bio-terrorism, general health and agricultural threats.
Working around the theme, "Innovations in Mitigating Bio-threats", the conference will be held on Monday, July 18, 2005 at the Hotel DuPont in Wilmington, Delaware from 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM, and will have three distinct sessions:
* Bio-Defense: Preparedness vs. Reaction - 10:30 am
* Public Health: Working Together for Solutions - 1:30 pm
* Agricultural: Threats to the Economy and Environment - 3:30 pm
The Fraunhofer USA CMB is developing vaccines that could potentially combat bioterrorism, using plant science technology called transient gene expression.
