Biotechnology and biochemical weapons

Dr. Mark Wheelis is Senior Lecturer in Microbiology at the University of California (UC), Davis, where he has been teaching in the field since 1970 and is also Director of the Program in Nature and Culture. He has authored numerous pieces on the history of biological warfare and the control of biological weapons, including two chapters on biological warfare in Biological and Toxin Weapons: Research, Development and Use from the Middle Ages to 1945 (Oxford University, 1999). Dr. Wheelis has also developed a website devoted to the threat of agricultural biowarfare and bioterrorism for the Federation of American Scientists.
