Official Description

It is impossible to ethically conduct human studies on emerging CBRN threats for the development of effective medical countermeasures (MCM); therefore, the DoD relies on pre-clinical animal models for these efforts [1]. However, animal model behavioral evaluations remain un-modernized, insensitive, and prone to significant variability between operators and protocols. Furthermore, the threat agent doses required to elicit an observable symptomatic response in animal models are much higher than do...
