Description
Summary:Biodefense research is a high national priority, not only for the sake of improving security in the face of threats from infectious disease, but also for the insights that biodefense and its related bioinformatics offer to the basic science of understanding pathogens. A colloquium was convened to bring together experts in biodefense, bioinformatics, molecular biology, microbiology, information technology, and other fields to discuss ways in which bioinformatics practice and support can be changed to improve the speed of discovery for the benefit of national security and of scientific progress
