During his time at the Health Science Center, Dr. Blanck acted as an adviser on bioterrorism issues and an expert in preparing the medical community to respond to mass casualty incidents or those involving weapons of mass destruction. He also chaired the task forces on bioterrorism for the Texas Medical Association and the American Osteopathic Association. Dr. Blanck retired and moved back to the Washington, D.C., area in 2006.
