The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) is a federally funded research and development center managed by Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI). It is dedicated to using science to identify perpetrators of biological events and guide the nation's investments in countermeasures against bioterrorism. NBACC conducts bioforensic analysis of evidence from bio-crime or terrorist attacks and provides scientific data for law enforcement investigations. Additionally, the center conducts studies and laboratory experiments to better understand current and future biological threats.
With a focus on protecting the American public from biological threats, NBACC is the first laboratory built for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and serves as a national resource for understanding the scientific basis of the risk posed by biological threats. Through its research and expertise, NBACC plays a crucial role in defending the United States against bioterrorism by developing critical science and contributing to the nation's defense strategies through the identification of perpetrators and the development of vaccines, drugs, detectors, and other countermeasures.
