Anthrax attacks on postal service facilities and congressional offices after Sept. 11 generated widespread fear throughout the country. The terrorist scares also gave biochemical attacks a higher place on radar screens of military and homeland security officials.
Dr. Arthur Friedlander, a senior scientist with the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, led a team that worked on vaccines for several diseases that could come from a bio-terror attack, for which he has been nominated for a Service to America medal.
His leadership culminated in the development of a new multi-component plague vaccine proven effective against pneumonic plague in animal models. The vaccine is currently in human clinical trials.
