Translating Basic Research into Operational Practice for Chemical and Biological Defense

This meeting will highlight the distinct, but interdependent nature of defense research performed at different application levels. We will begin with presentations from basic science researchers whose work, in the future, could be used to improve chemical and biological security. Then the session will transition into presentations focused on applying basic defense research, followed by a session to discuss application of translational studies into practical operation. The meeting will culminate in a mentorship panel to present career opportunities.
