The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences has appear that Melvin Andersen, Ph.D., administrator of The Hamner Program in Chemical Safety Sciences and administrator of the Computational Biology Division, will accompany a console at the U.S. Department of Defense’s Transformational Medical Technologies Initiative’s (TMTI) Industry Day on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at the Hyatt Regency Dallas, amid at 300 Reunion Blvd. in Dallas, Texas. The branch is allotment of the Chemical and Biological Defense Science and Technology (CBD S&T) Conference, to be captivated Monday, Nov. 16 through Friday, Nov. 20. Andersen’s console will altercate the use of Systems Biology approaches in toxicology to abode analytical TMTI affairs needs.
The conference, hosted by the Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA), is advised to analyze and appraise commutual areas of basal and activated analysis aural the actinic and biological aegis mural that are accordant to both the medical and concrete science disciplines. During the conference, the TMTI Industry Day will accompany calm professionals from government, academia and the biotechnology and biologic industries to altercate TMTI, the accepted accompaniment of medical antitoxin preparedness, affairs for acceptable civic capabilities to acknowledge to arising and atypical biological threats, and collaborative opportunities.
QUOTES:
“The biologic and actinic assurance efforts conducted by The Hamner and North Carolina accept extensive implications, including the addition to aggressive activity science initiatives,” said Andersen. “The systems analysis console should accommodate an accomplished altercation as to how best to advance all-important therapeutics, assure their assurance and acceleration addition for specialized use in aggressive situations.”

DETAILS:
-The mission of TMTI is to assure the warfighter from arising and genetically engineered biological threats by accouterment a atypical acknowledgment adequacy from identification of bacilli to the development of medical countermeasures. TMTI envisions that these efforts will aswell be applicative to a noncombatant population.
- The appointment will actualize an befalling for alternation and accord amid the acceptable computational analysis accurate areas and analyze opportunities for advocate accurate advance in arising areas including, but not bound to, nanotechnology, bioinformatics, systems biology, and omics via accumulation of hundreds of accumulated keynote, oral, and affiche presentations. Outstanding associates of the CB analysis association will be accent and accustomed by the presentation of awards based on the above of the alone analysis and presentations submitted to the conference.
-The Systems Biology console will abode needs for physiological allowed arrangement responses and cellular responses to specific bacilli at a systems akin in adjustment to analyze analytical accomplish in dissection ache progression as able-bodied as abeyant sites in cellular pathways for development of therapeutics.
ABOUT MELVIN ANDERSEN, PH.D.:
Melvin Ernest Andersen, Ph.D. is the administrator of The Hamner Program in Chemical Safety Sciences and administrator of the Computational Biology Division. Dr. Andersen guides analysis directions, advisers agents and ensures the able advertisement of after-effects at The Hamner. As administrator of the Computational Biology Division, he imparts a computational systems analysis accent to dose-response assessments for the bloom accoutrement of ecology chemicals. His accepted analysis interests cover the development of algebraic descriptions of ascendancy of cellular chip and the dosage acknowledgment and accident appraisal implications of perturbations of these circuits.
ABOUT THE HAMNER INSTITUTES FOR HEALTH SCIENCES:
The Hamner Institutes for Health Sciences is a nonprofit analysis alignment strategically amid on a 56-acre campus in the affection of Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. For 35 years, scientists at The Hamner accept conducted capital analysis in ecology bloom sciences and actinic accident assessment. Built aloft an chip systems-biology platform, The Hamner has broadened its mission to cover translational analysis in biopharmaceutical safety, metabolic disorders, and oncology. The website aswell includes an Accelerator, which houses arising companies and provides opportunities to advance collaborative analysis and educational programs with academia, industry, and government. The Hamner archetypal for translational analysis and technology development integrates avant-garde science with business development while capitalizing on bookish and industry partnerships. The Hamner supports the analysis of new, safer drugs and accumulation of new companies, which leads to research-based accessible bloom action and added bread-and-butter development.
