An Alliance Member-Only Conversation with BARDA Director Gary Disbrow

If you are with a Research!America Alliance member organization, please join us on Wednesday, October 30 at 12:00 p.m. EDT for an off-the-record conversation with the director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA), Dr. Gary Disbrow. As a highly respected leader in the biodefense arena, we’ve asked Gary to shed  light on the evolving biodefense landscape with a focus on infectious threats.

What are our nation’s priorities during a period shaped by a pandemic, punctuated by emerging and reemerging infectious diseases (EIDs), and potentially most notable for the success or failure of efforts to contain antimicrobial resistance? How does BARDA balance these priorities with the need for countermeasures against chemical, radiological, and nuclear threats, as well as biological threats outside EIDs?  These questions, and your questions and insights on these topics, are important. We hope you can join us.
