10) TMT/PLTFM
Abstract
TMT/Platform Technologies: TMT will establish three functional areas to support MCM development and respond to a biological event: Pathogen Characterization - Identifies and/or characterizes genetically modified or emerging pathogens. Target Identification - identifies genes or pathways within the host or pathogen that are vulnerable to countermeasure intervention. Bioinformatics - provides databases, tools, processing power, and connectivity to enable response system interoperability. TMT will integrate the three functional areas. TMT will use exercises to competitively prototype the functional areas and identify remaining gaps and determine. the "best of breed' technology. The ultimate goal is to provide a time and cost-effective response to an unknown, genetically modified or emerging pathogen threat.
