 American Society for Microbiology February 7, 2003
And on a personal level, I am happy to be here and discuss microbiology, a fascinating subject that has a long tradition at the FDA, and to which I've devoted much of my professional work.
Then came the attacks on the World Trade Centers and the Pentagon, the FDA became one of the leading agencies in the defense against bioterrorism, and our microbiologists were charged with the top priority task of helping to develop, and make available, treatments and vaccines for pathological agents that could be used by terrorists.
So in my overview of today's microbiology research at the FDA, I will give you a few examples of the more traditional type of work we're advancing to protect our public against infectious diseases, and then I'll describe some of our scientific efforts to protect our public health against the potential hazards of bioterrorism.
