BioDefense Corporation, Gold Sponsor

BioDefense’s core mission is to develop solutions that prevent infection to humans through terrorist attacks or those that are naturally occurring.
BioDefense has developed and now manufactures the MailDefender™, a mail decontamination system.
The MailDefender™ technology is an electro-mechanical machine designed to eliminate the risk of a bio-terrorist attack, e.g., through mail and air-express envelopes that transport potentially deadly pathogens or bio-chemicals into a facility. It also eliminates the need for immediate and costly HazMat responses to what turn out to be hoaxes because any threats will have already been neutralized.
