The International Conference in "Innovations in Mitigating Bio-Threats" will be held on Monday, July 18, 2005 at the Hotel DuPont in Wilmington, Delaware from 10:00 AM - 9:00 PM. In addition to defining threats to public health and bio-defense, the International Conference will explore technologies and business strategies that would expedite delivery of products that are critical to public protection. Representatives from US public health agencies like the CDC See Control Data, century date change and Back Orifice. CDC - Control Data Corporation , the NIAID NIAID National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. , the USDA USDA, n.pr See United States Department of Agriculture. , as well agencies from Canada and the United Kingdom, will give presentations to another 100+ science leaders in attendance. "This is a unique event where cutting-edge discovery research, product development, and regulatory and policy issues will be discussed. Coming together like this allows the industry to streamline efforts and better serve the public," said Dr. Vidadi Yusibov, Director of Fraunhofer USA's Center for Molecular Biotechnology. "It is an exceptional opportunity to exchange ideas from the biotech pipeline and prioritize global issues. The threat of bio-terrorism and the impending flu pandemic have global repercussions repercussions npl → répercussions fpl repercussions npl → Auswirkungen pl . They are sure to be discussed at length." "Innovations in Mitigating Bio-threats" 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 About the Fraunhofer USA's Center for Molecular Biotechnology The Fraunhofer USA's Center for Molecular Biotechnology (CMB) (www.fraunhofer-cmb.org) is a not-for-profit research organization, developing and applying core platform technologies for the production of plant-based vaccines, therapeutic proteins and therapeutic antibodies. The CMB has special expertise in a platform technology known as transient gene expression, which provides excellent protein yields in a short time and seeks to provide research and development capabilities to business, government and other organization.
