Biotechnology Capabilities for National Security Needs

Recently completed

The biotechnology and life science enterprise is highly distributed, multi-disciplinary, and international, which limits the identification, adoption, and influence of specific biotechnologies to meet national security needs. This committee will identify advanced biotechnologies that show promising capabilities to meet national security needs and assess early-stage research that may lead to the implementation of new or enhanced biotechnologies. This committee will contribute to the Standing Committee on Advances and National Security Implications of Transdisciplinary Biotechnology meetings and workshops.

Featured publication

This publication is the unclassified summary of a classified consensus report linking advanced biotechnologies to national security capability needs and identifying potential pathways for their adoption.
