Prof. Holger Barth supports NBC protection

We congratulate Prof. Dr. Holger Barth to his appointment to the scientific advisory panel of the research institutes for NBC protection of the medical academy of the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces)!

NBC protection covers all measures to defend against and prevent nuclear (N), biological (B) and chemical (C) threats and hazards. By taking this honorable task, Holger Barth supports the research institutes of the medical academy of the Bundeswehr with scientific advice, especially in terms of project design and development. The official swearing-in ceremony will be on November 22 in Munich, where institutes of the Bundeswehr associated with NBC protection, namely radiobiology (N protection), microbiology (B protection) as well as pharmacology and toxicology (C protection) are located. In the case of radiobiology, the medical academy already operates in close collaboration with Ulm University. Now, also the other sections, especially C protection will profit from the condensed scientific knowledge and experience of Ulm University, represented by Holger Barth as an excellent toxicologist and valued member of CRC 1279.
