    JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON – (July 14, 2025) – Liliane Moorhead, of Guys Mills, Pa., a senior attending Lehigh University, tests the effects of radiofrequency radiation on immune and vascular cells of the body during her internship at Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) San Antonio. The study, which will determine the effects of exposed macrophages on the barrier permeability of endothelial cells, is part of a larger project funded by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) In-house Laboratory Independent Research (ILIR) program. “I think that this is important work because it provides a better understanding of the effect Directed Energy-related injuries have on the inflammatory stage of wound healing which could lead to further development in post-exposure treatment strategies,” said Moorhead, who began her internship through the ONR’s Naval Research Enterprise Internship Program (NREIP). NREIP places college and university students in the Department of the Navy laboratories where they take part in real Naval research for ten weeks during the summer. Navy Medicine Research & Development (NMR&D) makes use of multiple channels to recruit and retain critical U.S. Navy medical support personnel. The research commands reach out to the next generation of scientists through conferences, STEM events, internships and career days, and support recruiting efforts early in undergraduate and graduate programs. NAMRU San Antonio, part of NMR&D, conducts gap-driven combat casualty care, craniofacial, and directed energy research in support of Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter health readiness and lethality while engaged in routine and expeditionary operations.
