Drexel University's National Bio-terrorism Civilian Medical Response Center (CIMERC)--a university based, pre-planning organization for biological mass casualty preparedness--will develop enabling technologies for detection systems aimed at increasing emergency preparedness to biological agent releases in the transit environment. The research will modify two piezoelectric biosensor platforms--the Piezoelectric Bulk Acoustic Wave Biosensors and the Piezoelectric Cantilever Biosensor (developed in its laboratories to detect anthrax)--and develop a portable anthrax detection system for use on the transit system. CIMERC partnered with city, regional governmental and non-governmental organizations including the Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority.
