We welcome Ketan Desai, a physician executive, as we’ll delve into the fascinating and concerning realm of biological warfare and bioterrorism. Join us as we explore historical instances of biological weapons, the implications of genetic technology advancements, and the ethical considerations surrounding biotechnological research.

With Ketan’s expertise, we’ll discuss the motivations behind biological attacks, the potential dangers of genetic manipulation in bioterrorism, and the urgent need for global biosecurity measures.

Ketan Desai is a physician executive.

He discusses the KevinMD article, “Biological weapons: a history and emerging risks.”
