Texas Tech University Center for Biodefense, Law & Public Policy

In September 2001, Chancellor David R. Smith appointed the Task Force for Anti-Terrorism and Public Security to determine how the university – as a public institution – could best respond the needs of the community, state and nation through our research, education and community service resources. Among the recommendations from that Task Force was the formation of such a Center to address law and public policy issues. The establishment of the Center for Biodefense, Law and Public Policy is intended to provide an opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration to move in the direction of solutions for the complex, and cross-disciplinary area of biodefense. The disciplines of law, public policy, mass communications, political science, microbiology, medicine, forensic pathology, animal and food science and plant science comprise the range of academic fields represented by the faculty associated with the Center.
