Programa nacional de investigación y desarrollo en materia de defensa biológica
The biological defence research and development activities of the Federal Ministry of Health are exclusively conducted at the Centre for Biological Threats and Special Pathogens (Zentrum für Biologische Gefahren und Spezielle Pathogene, ZBS) of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI).
The R&D activities of the national program include: prophylaxis, diagnostic techniques, sampling and detection techniques, toxinology, decontamination, and physical protection. Summaries and objectives of all research and development projects in the field of CBRN Medical Defence are accessible online: http://www.bundeswehr.de (in German).
In 2018 the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance (Bundesamt für Bevölker-ungsschutz und Katastrophenhilfe) has funded the following two research projects:
• Project GranPSA: The objective of this project is to conduct efficacy testing of disinfectants on surfaces of personal protection equipment (PPE) in order to develop decontamination procedures to minimize risks of first responders in case of a biological incident. All investigations are carried out at the Robert Koch Institute, RKI.
