Life Sciences Lifeline - Medical Countermeasures for Biodefense: Implementing Government-wide Lessons From the Global Pandemic

This month we are pleased to welcome Col. Matthew Clark to Indianapolis.

Col. Clark is responsible for leading the medical portfolio for the Joint Program Executive Office for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense (JPEO-CBRND).

As the U.S. looks to assess what was learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, we also need to prepare for the next possible public health threats, which could unfold quite differently. He will discuss the important ways JPEO-CBRND manages our nation’s investments in chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) defense equipment and medical countermeasures and how it works closely with various government agencies that need CBRN defense equipment.

The JPEO-CBRND also leads, manages, and directs the acquisition, fielding and sustainment of CBRN sensors, protective equipment, medical countermeasures, specialized equipment for U.S. Special Forces, integration and information management systems, and defense enabling biotechnologies. For companies interested in learning more about working with this agency, we encourage you to join us.

There will not be a Zoom option for this session. We are excited about getting back to our fully in-person meetings and hope you will be able to join us.

This program will feature a Q&A session. You may ask questions during the Q&A or submit them when you register.
