National Bioterrorism Response Center

The objective of this effort is to continue to support the efforts of the National Bioterrorism Civilian Medical Response Center (CIMERC) at Drexel University to develop enabling technologies for detection systems aimed at increasing emergency preparedness to possible attacks involving biological agent releases in the transit environment. The specific objective of this application is to modify two piezoelectric biosensor platforms (the Piezoelectric Bulk Acoustic Wave Biosensors (PBB) and the Piezoelectric Cantilever Biosensor (PCB) developed in CIMERC laboratories to detect anthrax.
