    National Biological Defense Program

    1. Indiquer les objectifs et le financement de chaque programme et résumer les principales activités de recherche-développement menées dans le cadre du programme, en particulier dans les secteurs suivants: prophylaxie, études de pouvoir pathogène et de virulence, techniques de diagnostic, aérobiologie, détection, traitement, toxinologie, protection physique, décontamination et autres recherches apparentées.

    The objective is to establish national biological defense proficiency by developing and improving precise and accurate tests for the rapid diagnosis as well as for identification, including characterzation, of different biological agents and toxins using various methods. Spiez Laboratory is assigned to fulfill this task and to close any gaps to reach national biological defense excellence. To improve the national biological defense capabilities of Switzerland, Spiez Laboratory has funds available to run a dedicated program with the goal of added research and development mainly benefitting detection, diagnostic and identification techniques. A major part of the program is conducted under contract with national and international industries, academic institutions as well as domestic and foreign governmental agencies, as detailed in paragraph 5.

    Spiez Laboratory is part of the Federal Office for Civil Protection FOCP within the Federal Department of Defence, Civil Protection and Sports DDPS of the Swiss Confederation. Spiez Laboratory is the Swiss center of expertise in protection against nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) threats and hazards. Besides delivering its expertise to relevant stakeholders, the Biology Division of Spiez Laboratory is concerned with the identification of biological agents and toxins, as well as supports military biological protection units. The Biology Division has three main branches that are engaged in the fields of virology, bacteriology and toxinology, respectively.

    Spiez Laboratory possesses a high containment facility that allows for the safe handling of biological agents of all risk groups. It is the only BSL4 high containment facility in Switzerland holding a license which is not limited to diagnostic purposes. It serves towards the comprehensive detection and identification of human pathogens. This enables Spiez Laboratory to act in the Regional Laboratory Network as both a Regional Competence Center and as a National Reference Center / National Reference Laboratory having all necessary capabilities and capacities at hand.
