            The BelferCenter for Science and International Affairs is proud to host a Brown Bag Lunch entitled "Biodefense: How Much Is Too Much?” with Kendall Hoyt, ISP Research Fellow. She studies international biosecurity strategy and biodefense research policy.  She is currently writing a book that examines the interplay of national security concerns and commercial interests in the history of vaccine innovation.  Most recently, she has investigated business-government relations surrounding efforts to stem the proliferation of biological weapons without squelching the innovative capacity of the international biopharmaceutical industry.

 

Kendall is a term member at the Council of Foreign Relations and serves as an advisor to a number of governmental institutions on biodefense research policy.  She is also working with the New EnglandCenter for Emergency Preparedness to develop an emergency pharmaceutical cache plan for Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont.  She has worked for the Executive Session for Domestic Preparedness at HarvardUniversity, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, McKinsey and Company, and the Center for the Management of Innovation and Technology at the National University of Singapore.
