WHERE:
Fairmont Washington DC, 2401 M Street, NW, Washington, DC 20037

WHY
The goal of the 2007 BARDA Industry Day is to provide an open forum for companies interested in working with the Federal Government to showcase technological advances in medical countermeasures to manmade and naturally occurring threats. Representatives from companies who have registered as presenters will demonstrate the progress of current activities in advanced research and development of medical countermeasures that will contribute to the success of the HHS Pandemic Influenza Plan, Project BioShield, BARDA, and the HHS PHEMCE Strategy and Implementation Plan.

The 2007 BARDA Industry day will consist of concurrent breakout sessions on the following topics: vaccines, therapeutics, medical diagnostic products, and non-pharmaceutical countermeasures. During these breakout sessions, industry stakeholders will present their product information to representatives from throughout the federal government, international agencies, industry, and academia

HHS looks forward to receiving valuable input from all participants during the HHS BARDA Industry Day.

However, not just anyone will be accepted for presentation in the breakout sections. That requires an abstract which must pass the selection committee.

I can't answer why the findings were not included in the PR. All I can say is that the fact that Diwan was selected to present to BRADA in a breakout session should indicate that previous results were confirmed in the latest round of testing. Although the forum is described as "open" the presentation may not be considered public enough since only qualified persons can attend:
