The Los Alamos Center for Bio-Security Science (CBSS) works to achieve science and technology breakthroughs in understanding and mitigating threats to national security, public health, and agriculture from natural, emerging, and engineered infectious agents.
Research Goals
Created at Los Alamos National Laboratory in 2008, the Center focuses its
research goals on developing
advanced diagnosis and detection platforms,
pre-symptomatic diagnosis of infection,
vaccines and therapeutics that cannot be defeated by the pathogen, and
complete strategies for disease surveillance and management—from
threat identification to characterization, detection/diagnosis to countermeasures.
