Abstract

We are developing metrologies that could enable the rapid screening of therapeutic agents against anthrax infection, determine the structure-function relationship of anthrax toxins, and the rapid detection of pathogens and cellular biomarkers. Our goals are to better understand the threats posed by biowarfare agents and thereby provide the metrology needed to effectively detect and combat these toxins. These techniques might also prove useful for genomic and proteomic applications.
