Preemptive Expression of Protective Alleles and Response Elements (PREPARE)
Abstract
The Preemptive Expression of Protective Alleles and Response Elements (PREPARE) program is creating a transient, near immediate prophylaxis and treatment to protect military personnel and civilians against public health and national security threats. Currently, protection against Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) threats relies on physical barrier technology. This program includes research to develop novel transient and reversible gene modulator therapies to bolster intrinsic host defenses. Work within this program will provide novel solutions that extend beyond the DoD's capabilities to respond to re-emerging, newly emerging, or engineered threats.
