History and purpose

The University of Nebraska Center for Biosecurity was created in 2002 to effectively serve the state of Nebraska and the nation by addressing both human and agricultural (plant and animal) biosecurity concerns. The center, administered by the University of Nebraska Medical Center, draws on the expertise of faculty members from all four campuses in a unique educational collaboration of expert scientists and clinicians who participate in clinical service, public service, educational and research programs.

The center will focus on:
  • Continued development of clinical, service, educational and research infrastructure


  • Research regarding surveillance, protection and treatment of potential bioterrorism agents in both human and agricultural systems


  • Enhancement of laboratory automation, information security, statewide information technology-based communication systems


  • Use of Cooperative Extension personnel across the state to support the rapid collection and analysis of data critical to early detection of possible bioterrorism events


  • Development of bioterrorism related educational programs for students, health professionals, first responders and the public
