HERA medical countermeasures for CBRN threats – Detection and diagnosis

Funds R&D on rapid tests that detect chemical and biological agents, including biotoxins.

HaDEA runs this topic to raise the EU's preparedness against chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats by funding detection and diagnostic tests that can rapidly identify a single agent or a broad range of chemical and biological agents, including biotoxins. It funds work across an end-to-end path from advanced research and development, through involving end users and security practit

This topic funds development of detection and diagnostic tests as medical countermeasures against CBRN threats, with a special focus on tests that can rapidly detect a single agent or a broad range of chemical and biological agents, including biotoxins. It's part of the same HERA effort as the medicinal-products and PPE topics, aimed at bridging the gap between research and market-ready detection tools.
