The concept of operationalization of an integrated platform for scientific research and expertise of war and bioterrorism biological agents
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The international situation requires a strengthening of the national security measures, including in the field of CBRN and public health. The upgraded microbiology laboratories from DM/ MND must be operated at full capacity for the operationalization of an integrated Platform for the research and expertise of biological war and bioterrorism agents. This is necessary for reasons of national security, for CBRN defense and for public health, in the context of biological agents of 3 and 4 risk groups’ epidemics. The existing upgraded objectives should be operationalized in order to meet the established scope: scientific research and expertise of biological agents and biological weapons, a laboratory for in vitro analysis and a bio-base for in vivo analysis. The highly secure lab allows working with any high-risk agents: biological, genetic, chemical, radiological, etc., being provided with a special room for the insertion/removal of equipment and their decontamination. Following an increase in the capability requirements concerning laboratories, we have provided in the design concept new technical parameters of the platform and the integration of new compartments with related activities of toxicology, pathology, neuro-psycho-pharmacology, bio-pharmacy, micro-pharmaceutical, specific testing activities, etc. Creating the integrated platform and its operationalization is necessary in order to meet the requirement of the national security strategy as a collective CBRN defense/protection facility and military-medical scientific research for CBRN medical protection.
