The Texas Biomedical Research Institute is working with the US Department of Defense on a project to defend against biothreats. This partnership aims to protect both soldiers and citizens from various biological threats.

The biothreats in question include naturally occurring infectious diseases, as well as lab-engineered bioweapons. Further details about this collaboration are available from the San Antonio Report.

For those interested in learning more about this initiative, additional information can be found through the San Antonio Report, a local nonprofit newsroom serving the Terrell Hills area.
