The National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center.
Since the inception of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) has developed the science critical to defend the United States against bioterrorism. Managed by Battelle National Biodefense Institute (BNBI) as a Federally Funded Research and Development Center (FFRDC), NBACC is the first laboratory built for DHS – a national resource to understand the scientific basis of the risk posed by biological threats and to attribute their use in bioterror and biocrime events.
NBACC’s purpose is to protect our nation from potential biological threats or risks through the use of state-of-the-art laboratories and equipment. The NBACC is one out of only 13 laboratories within the United States that offers a BSL-4, so a role like this is very difficult to come across.
