The Apollo Program for Biodefense – Winning the Race Against Biological Threats
The Bipartisan Commission on Biodefense released a new report in January 2021 recommending a comprehensive investment in the fight to end pandemic threats. The Apollo Program for Biodefense, so-named for the ambitious and successful Apollo 11 mission to put a human on the moon, seeks to end the threat of pandemics by 2030.
The Apollo Program for Biodefense is an ambitious goal-directed program to develop and deploy the technologies needed to defend against all biological threats, empower public health, and prevent pandemics, no matter what the source.
