FREDERICK, Md. (March 22, 2024) Andrea Luquette, a research associate, with Naval Medical Research Command’s (NMRC) Biological Defense Research Directorate (BDRD), prepares an instrument prior to sample loading and DNA sequencing. Sequencing data provides information which may be used to aid development of new therapeutics to combat growing health concerns such as multi drug resistant infections. Data may be used to support surveillance of outbreaks, facilitating identification and characterization of the causative agent while simultaneously informing design of the next generation of medical countermeasures to protect joint forces around the world. NMRC is engaged in a broad spectrum of activities, from basic science in the laboratory to field studies in austere and remote areas of the world to investigations in operational environments. In support of the Navy, Marine Corps, and joint U.S. warfighters, researchers study infectious diseases, biological warfare detection and defense, combat casualty care, environmental health concerns, aerospace and undersea medicine, medical modeling, simulation, operational mission support, epidemiology and behavioral sciences.
