Hello BioCOM members!
Below, you will find information about who is presenting at our Bioethics Panel, which is about bioterrorism, this Friday:
- Daniel Barnett, MD, MPH, associate professor: Dr. Barnett works at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. His research interests include "best practice models to enhance all-hazards public health emergency readiness and response".
- Peter Emanuel, PhD: Dr. Emanuel is the Senior Research Scientist for Bioengineering in the Chemical Biological Center. Dr. Emanuel advises US. Army leadership on developments in synthetic biology and bioengineering and how they can be exploited to boost national defense.
Again, the event is this Friday at 7 PM. The Webex link to join the event is on our my.UMBC page. This event is a great opportunity to learn more about this somewhat overlooked field in biology.
We hope to see you all then!
