Ken Alibek, MD, PhD, the world expert on Bioterrorism and the Executive Director of George Mason University’s “Center for Biodefense” announced today that a Special International Event, “Accelerating Solutions to Bioterrorism”, will take place in Virginia on June 22, the day before Bio2003 kicks off in Washington DC.  An elite group of international companies will participate in this exclusive gathering of leaders. 
“This special event could create corporate business opportunities on a global scale.  Since Israeli companies are among the world leaders in Biodefense, I will be delighted to see a large turnout of Israeli companies.”
Dr. Ken Alibek
According to Dr. Alibek, this will be a unique opportunity for Israeli companies to meet other international and US companies in their same arena.   The event concentrates on “biological weapons in the areas of detection, prophylaxis, and treatment.  This may include companies that are capable of manufacturing protective products, or for developing drug treatment for infectious diseases.   Alibek adds: “Both the US and Israel have exceptional capabilities to approach the unsolved terrorism threats.  We must collaborate in order to accelerate the solutions.  That’s what this event is all about.”

The special event will be a closed event limited to 100 of the elite in the field.  Companies must submit an application, which will be reviewed by a committee at the National Center for Biodefense.  There is no fee to participate in this special event and transportation will be provided from Washington, DC.
