Biosecurity: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow David R. Franz, D.V.M., Ph.D.

Discovery of a small Iraqi biological weapons program in the 1990s, followed by attacks on the World Trade Center and the mailing of anthrax letters in 2001, has led us to think about protecting the homeland from insiders and state-sponsored bioterrorists. With the rise of global terrorism, radical groups in ungoverned spaces, and nation states once again flexing their muscles, sustaining a defense of the nation is becoming ever more difficult. Dr. Franz will review this history and the U.S. government’s response and discuss ways ahead in a world ever more connected with a complex spectrum of natural and intentional disease threats.

Dr. Franz served in the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command for 23 of 27 years on active duty and retired as Colonel. He served as Commander of the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID) and as Deputy Commander of the Medical Research and Materiel Command.

Dr. Franz was the Chief Inspector on three United Nations Special Commission biological warfare inspection missions to Iraq and served as technical advisor on long-term monitoring. He also served as a member of the U.S.-U.K. teams that visited Russia in support of the Trilateral Joint Statement on Biological Weapons and as a member of the Trilateral Experts’ Committee for biological weapons negotiations.

He currently chairs the biological panel of the National Academy of Sciences Committee on International Security and Arms Control and serves as a Senior Mentor to the Program for Emerging Leaders at the National Defense University.

Dr. Franz holds a D.V.M. from Kansas State University and a Ph.D. in Physiology from Baylor College of Medicine.

Terror Medicine and the Anthrax LettersLeonard Cole, Ph.D.

After recounting lessons from the 2001 anthrax attacks via the U.S. mail, Dr. Cole will address the continuing challenge of bioterrorism. The new field of Terror Medicine affirms the key role of the health care provider in responding to biological and other forms of terrorism. Terror Medicine includes aspects of emergency and disaster medicine, but also bears features distinctive to terror attacks: preparedness, incident management, the nature of injuries and psychological effects.

Dr. Cole is an adjunct professor of Emergency Medicine and director of the Program on Terror Medicine and Security at Rutgers New Jersey Medical School. He is on the Board of Directors of the World Association for Disaster and Emergency Medicine and the Advisory Board of the International Institute for Counter-Terrorism. Trained in the health sciences and public policy, he holds a

Ph.D. in political science from Columbia University and a doctorate from the University of Pennsylvania School Of Dental Medicine. His numerous publications include 10 books, including The Anthrax Letters which was named an Honor Book by the NJ Council for the Humanities.

21st Century Bioterrorism: The Threat and Preparedness Recommendations Col. Randall Larsen, United States Air Force, Retired

Col. Larsen will provide attendees with a brief history of bioterrorism and bio warfare programs in the 20th century. He will explain how off-the-shelf technology provides significant bio capabilities to terrorist organizations. Attendees will walk away with preparedness recommendations for state and local responders.

Col. Larsen is the national security advisor at Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security where he was lead author for JUMP START: Accelerating Government Response to a National Biological Crisis (July 2015).

In 2009, he served as the executive director of the bipartisan Congressional Commission on the Prevention of Weapons of Mass Destruction Proliferation and Terrorism. In March 2010, along with former Senators Bob Graham (D-FL) and Jim Talent (R-MO), Larsen founded the Bipartisan WMD Terrorism Research Center (WMD Center) where he served as the chief executive officer until December 2012. In 2011, Larsen co-authored the WMD Center’s Bio-Response Report Card.

In July 2000, Col. Larsen retired from military service and founded the Institute of Homeland Security, a nonprofit research center. He testified at the first hearing of the 9/11 Commission and is a frequent expert witness for the U.S. Congress. Col. Larsen has a master’s degree in National Security Studies from the Naval Post Graduate School. He served in both the Army and Air Force for a combined total of 32 years of active duty military service.

Panel Discussion Dr. David Franz, Dr. Leonard Cole and Col. Randall Larsen

Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the experts questions about their presentations and other trending topics such as bioterrorism, terror groups, bioweapon development and if the U.S. is adequately positioned to counter a bio-attack.

Modern Epidemics including Bioterrorism: How Real Are the Risks? Lee Norman, M.D., M.H.S., M.B.A

Epidemics and emerging and neglected diseases remain a global threat. Demographics and other forces are at play that make the spread of diseases likely, in our country and the Midwest region. These threats and forces are both naturally-occurring and man-made – population growth and the interplay between humans, crops and livestock. The work of the Bio-Threat Team of the Kansas Intelligence Fusion Center will be highlighted, focusing on answering the questions, “what are the material threats to our people,” and “is bio-terrorism something we need to be concerned with?”

Dr. Norman is the Chief Medical Officer of the University of Kansas Health System. Additionally, he is a lieutenant colonel in the Kansas Army National Guard and is the State Surgeon of Kansas. In the latter role, he oversees the medical readiness of the National Guard troops and serves as medical advisor to the Adjutant General of Kansas regarding emergency management and Homeland Security issues. He is a member of the Bio-Threat Team of the Kansas Intelligence Fusion Center.
