All eyes are on the
biotechnology industry and biotechnology research centers to
contribute to the effort for biodefense. The U.S. Government
is spending billions of dollars on this effort. U.S.
companies, universities, and other research institutions are
encouraged to work on these projects.
This biodefense resource guide is designed to
help steer biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and med-tech companies through the labyrinth of
opportunities, programs and procedures in the emerging biodefense
industry.
Most beneficial from this report are the profiled success stories of
companies that have developed a successful niche in biodefense. By
