SILVER SPRING, Md. (Aug. 25, 2025) Staff with Naval Medical Research Command (NMRC) and Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR) pose for a group photo outside the Robert K. Inouye building at Forest Glen Annex. Scientists from NMRC and WRAIR are collaborating to develop an antimicrobial therapy to treat commonly drug-resistant bacteria. This research has allowed scientists from both organizations to band together and test the effectiveness of multiple versions of the therapy. Developing an antibiotic alternative that is easily accessible will allow service members to have better resources in environments where traditional healthcare is not available. NMRC, headquarters of Navy Medicine Research & Development, is engaged in a broad spectrum of activity 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 Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter health, readiness and lethality, researchers study infectious diseases, biological warfare detection and defense, combat casualty care, environmental health concerns, aerospace and undersea medicine, operational mission support and epidemiology.
