Applied BioSciences Research

The purpose of this effort is to conduct research with the Applied Biotechnology Branch, Biosciences and Performance Division of the Human Effectiveness Directorate of the 711th Human Performance Wing. The Applied Biotechnology Branch’s primary research areas are: 1) Nano-Bio Interaction/Effects 2)Bioinformatics 3) Toxicology 4) Predictive Modeling (PD/PBPK) 5) Biomarker Discovery/Assay Development and 6) Molecular Foundations. Innovative research is needed to advance the state-of-the-art in warfighter protection and cognition. In particular, novel concepts are required to capitalize on advances in biotechnology and molecular biology to provide radically new capabilities that not only provide a general public benefit through civilian applications, but also improve warfighter performance and combat effectiveness.
