We reduce proliferation and terrorism threats to U.S. national security through global technical engagement.

  • Provide technical support to U.S. government policy makers for arms control and international agreements
  • Develop sustainable technologies for international biorisk management, and create capacities within nations to prevent the misuse of biological and chemical materials
