Full Title: Mitigating Uncertain Times: Challenges with Rapid Detection and Characterization of Biological and Chemical Threats and Accelerated Development of Pharmaceutical Countermeasures for Unanticipated Medical Needs Presented by Douglas E. Kiehl, Research Advisor, Bioproduct, Research & Development at Eli Lily and Company Potentially catastrophic chemical and biological threats represent deliberate or unintentional actions placing civilian and military personnel at considerable risk. Rapid response requires novel approaches for detection and characterization of chemical and pathogenic biological impurities and effective deployment of life-saving countermeasures with acceptable benefit/risk ratio. Challenges include the development of robust, portable technologies for rapid and reliable threat identification, processes for development, manufacture, review/approval and deployment of countermeasures, and supply chain integrity.
