> Biological weapons have been in use throughout the ages ever since the ancients deliberately spread plague and disease amongst their enemies. There have been many alleged and real incidents in recent years and today we face an increasing concern over the threat of terrorists obtaining and using bio-agents

> Professor Anderson will talk about potential bio-agents and the advances in technology and research that will enable us to understand them better so that we can combat them. He will describe some of the MoD> '> s facilities and outline the research there, much of which takes place in the Defence Science & Technology Laboratory.
