SAN ANTONIO – The U.S. Department of Defense is funding two studies by the Texas Biomedical Research Institute to find effective, long-term ways to disinfect surfaces and the air indoors contaminated by the coronavirus and other pathogens.
Dr. Mark Ervin, a medical advisor with the 59TH Medical Wing in the Science and Technology Wing at Joint Base-Lackland, said the nearly $2 million contract is “a perfect example of how a military-civilian research partnership can work together to improve the quality of research and improve the outcomes that benefit not only the military as well as the entire population.”
