Unconventional Therapeutics

Abstract

This thrust developed unique and unconventional approaches to ensure that soldiers are protected against a wide variety of naturally occurring, indigenous or engineered threats. The program developed approaches to counter any natural or man-made pathogen within one week. This included development of countermeasures that do not require prior knowledge of the pathogen and are broadly applicable to multiple, unrelated bacterial and/or viral infectious agents. The integration of academic research programs with pharmaceutical development efforts resulted in reducing the traditional drug development cycle timeframe.
