JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON (Dec. 8, 2025) Research scientist Phylisia Dimas, assigned to Naval Medical Research Unit (NAMRU) San Antonio, speaks with Dr. Jeremy Pamplin, program manager, Biological Technologies Office, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), on the Nikon Eclipse Ti2 confocal microscope utilized for the assessment of DARPA’s Fieldable Solutions for Hemorrhage with bio-Artificial Resuscitation Products (FSHARP) program’s novel synthetic blood product at the Battlefield Health & Trauma Research Institute. The FSHARP program works to develop a deployable, shelf-stable, universal whole blood substitute as a hemorrhage countermeasure to sustain injured warfighters in austere, pre-hospital settings. NAMRU San Antonio serves as the Independent Validation & Verification partner for the FSHARP program to perform laboratory testing for safety and efficacy. The confocal microscope can capture images of fixed and live tissue using magnifications from 4X to 60X at four different fluorescent filters. Other features include a controlled environmental chamber to perform live cell imaging, automation and software full of endless imaging and analysis tools. NAMRU San Antonio, part of Navy Medicine Research & Development, works alongside research partners in the civilian sphere, academia, industry, and other government agencies to drive support of the Department of War’s objectives for a lethal fighting force and ensures U.S. service members have access to the latest scientific advances. NAMRU San Antonio 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.
