Wrapping up its 5th year, CHI's Biodefense World Summit brought together leaders from government, academia, and industry for compelling discussions and comprehensive coverage on pathogen detection, point-of-care, biosurveillance, sample prep technologies, and bio recovery. Across three days of programming, attendees networked in the exhibit/poster hall, engaged in panel & roundtable breakout discussions, and heard case studies by members of the biodefense community: from technology providers to policy makers.
