The '''National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center''' ('''NBACC''') is a government biodefense research laboratory created by the [[U.S. Department of Homeland Security]] (DHS) and located at the sprawling biodefense campus at [[Fort Detrick]] in [[Frederick, MD]], USA. The NBACC (pronounced ''EN-back'') is the principal U.S. biodefense research institution engaged in laboratory-based [[threat assessment]] and bioforensics.  NBACC is an important part of the [[National Interagency Biodefense Campus]] (NIBC) also located at Fort Detrick for the [[US Army]], [[National Institutes of Health]] and the [[US Department of Agriculture]].
