Dr. Barbara B. Saunders-Price is an experienced scientist with combined expertise in nuclear, biological and chemical defense issues and environmental chemistry, toxicology, radiation and nuclear chemistry and public health risk assessments. She has concentrated on international aspects of NBC or CBR defense and cooperation since 1981 and has experience interacting in a professional setting with many different cultures.

She is the editor-in-chief and publisher of the Journal of Medical Chemical, Biological and Radiological Defense, a peer reviewed online journal she co-foundedin 2001. Dr. Price also co-founded the ASA Newsletter, a specialty newsletter for international NBC defense, in its 23rd year of continuous publication. Both publications rely on her extensive international contacts, analytical abilities and scientific expertise. She is well known in the field of medical CBR.

Dr. Price has been the chair or co-chair of each the Chemical Biological MedicalTreatments Symposia (CBMTS) series of meetings in Switzerland, Czech Republic,Egypt, Croatia and Singapore (17 meetings as of 2010). These meetings are organized and managed with the sponsorship of the host country and are designed to facilitate the communication of ideas and concepts in NBC/CBR science and medical treatment, doctrine and policy. She has been the co-chair of the International China BioPharmaceuticals Symposia in Beijing in 2006 and 2008. At each of these meetings, Dr. Price has taught a special section on giving scientific presentations, emphasizing those whose first language is not English and who are from non-Western cultures.

Dr. Price is familiar with many aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology and d

isease transmission as the biological warfare and biological terrorism threats have increased. She has over 25 years of experience in the reactions of chemicalsand nuclear products in the environment; in research, development, and assessment projects; and in the detection of chemicals and protection of human health and the environment. She has written risk assessments and contamination assessments dealing with metals and radioactive metals (Pu, Np, U) and organic chemicals from PCBs to dioxins, TCE, PAHs, pesticides, and polymer starting materials. Shehas been responsible for training and coordinating uniform technical approachesto many projects and programs. Her communication and management skills make hervaluable in all aspects of staff and client interactions from training through marketing and negotiating with clients, including those in different cultures.

Dr. Price has developed approaches to environmental and defense programs examini

ng the threats from toxic industrial chemicals (TICs) using a variety of open sources, especially environmental programs and chemical reporting programs in international and regional trade, and local industries and facilities. Many of the programs assessing possible threats from TICs use information and contacts developed from over 25 years of international travel, particularly those in chemical threats and environmental programs. She has developed and explored a variety of environmental issues and practices in countries in Eastern Europe and Asia. She has also worked with a large number of countries, industries and laboratories ontoxicology issues and environmental practices.
