Kanatjan AlibekovDr. Kanatjan Alibekov (or Americanized Ken Alibek) was born in Kazakhstan. After earning his medical degree, he joined the field of bioweapons, and eventually became the First Deputy Director of Biopreparat in the Soviet Union. Alibekov is said to have "defected" to the United States in 1992, but it would be more accurate to say that he left Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, feeling no real obligation to a country that no longer existed. His current research in the U.S. focuses on enhancing the power of the general immune system to better respond to bioweapons exposure. Before entering the United States, Kazakhstan attempted to employ Dr. Alibekov in a top role in their own biowarfare program—which does not officially exist—but he refused. Writing as Ken Alibek in the United States, he authored Biohazard, a history of the Soviet bioweapons program (particularly, but not exclusively, Biopreparat). Alibekov Kanatjan
