🧪 Kudos to TDA Research! They have been awarded $249,988.56 by the United States Department of Defense, specifically the Defense Health Agency. This funding is part of the Small Business Innovation Research Program Phase I. Their project focuses on developing a high-throughput pathogen inactivation device using Psoralen-UV-A technology. #SBIR #STTR 🔍 This basic research project will span approximately 7 months, starting on June 21, 2024, and ending on January 20, 2025. TDA Research is set to make significant strides in health technology and pathogen control. #HealthTech #PathogenControl #Innovation

Managing futuristic defence technologies: A structured approach for Atmanirbharta in defence https://lnkd.in/g2QKCkf8

Advances in biological engineering show remarkable promise, with all kinds of new possibilities in patient treatments and outcomes. They also have the potential to wreak havoc and inflict enormous harm if they’re ever weaponized. As this The Washington Post piece asserts, any serious plan about national security must place an emphasis on biosecurity. With the ability to recognize both biological and chemical threats in a matter of minutes, our BioTOF aerosol detection and identification tool is part of the solution. It’s essential to ensure that breakthrough biotechnology advancements work for the betterment of humanity and not to our detriment. Policymakers should bear this in mind and act accordingly. #biosecurity #nationalsecurity #biothreat #natsec #threatdetection #chembio

The UK Government has recently published its annual report into the operation of the NSIA i.e. the UK National Security and Investment Act in 2023/24 which has a high degree of very relevance to the Healthcare Sector, particularly around AI, Synthetic biology and Emergency Services but also the supply of health and care services into a defence or military setting. The Pinsent Masons team have written a short Outlaw article summarising the findings. The key themes are: - A regular number of transactions continue to trigger mandatory notification under the NSIA. We are in particular finding that transactions where there is supply into the ‘defence’, ‘military’ and ‘data infrastructure’ sectors are requiring notification, and consideration is required for transactions in the ‘energy’ sector in particular; - In general, most ‘straightforward’ cases are being cleared within the initial 30 working day review period: in general this is occurring at days 28-30 even for simple cases; - We continue to experience some ‘call in’ cases: these generally have a political angle, for example concerning a Chinese entity or ultimate Chinese SOE ownership. https://lnkd.in/eigiixr5   #pmhealthcare #UKGovernment #NationalSecurity

We regularly present the topics of the event before the NBC 2025 symposium on June 2025. This time the topic is CBRN Resilient Society. Functioning of any society is very complex matter and thus, survival of society during and after major crisis is also a very complex, time and labor demanding, and costly societal process. Question is not only about mental survivability but how to cope with the multiple human and material needs in changed circumstances. Preparedness demands human and materiel resources, planning, training and exercises in various levels, and many different actors. In case any chemical, biological, radiological or nuclear threat or scenario would realize, be it times of peace, crisis or war, societies must be prepared to survive and to continue functioning as close to normalcy as possible. The armies and defense forces are prepared and able to continue their assigned tasks under CBRN conditions. In crisis it is general population and civil authorities who face most heavily the consequences. In normal times politics, conventions, laws and deterrence prevent serious crises to take place. Although we strongly believe in these, we must continue building arrangements of different kinds and levels to protect the society. When a society is well prepared, there are best chances for recovery from the unwanted but possible realized threats. Resilient society is not granted and unchanged. Thus, we all, citizens, business enterprises, municipalities and government administrations, have a role to build it even stronger. Resilient Society is the theme of the NBC 2025 symposium which takes place June 9-12, 2025 in Kokkola Finland.
