MEDICAL CHEMICAL DEFENSE (APPLIED RESEARCH)
Abstract
This project (TC2) funds applied research for the investigation of new medical countermeasures to include prophylaxes, pretreatments, antidotes, skin decontaminants and therapeutic drugs against identified and emerging chemical warfare threat agents to include a class of agents called Non Traditional Agents (NTAs). In FY11, all NTA-dedicated research was re-aligned into specific capability areas within this project in order to ensure a focused effort on this high priority area. Capability areas include: Pretreatments; pretreatments for NTAs; diagnostics; diagnostics for NTAs; therapeutics; and therapeutics for NTAs. Pretreatments includes researching prophylaxes to protect against chemical agents and NTAs. Diagnostics focuses on researching diagnostic tools that help identify exposure to chemical agents and NTAs. Therapeutics focuses on researching post-exposure countermeasures to protect against chemical agents and NTAs. Research and development efforts in this project focus on formulation and scale-up of candidate compounds.
