Medical and Biological Sciences
Abstract
The health and performance of Sailors and Marines is a top priority. Extensive research in the medical and biological sciences discover and leverage breakthroughs to improve naval warfighter performance, so they can fight, win and come home safe. Sailors and Marines operate in the harshest working environments at sea and around the world. Conducting research, developing new equipment and gaining a better understanding of challenges in their operating environments will ensure optimal performance, prevent harm and equip the DON to provide the best care for its warfighters. Discover and leverage emerging multi-disciplinary basic research to improve warfighter health within areas including bio-inspired autonomous systems; bioengineering; biophysics; synthetic biology; microbial electrochemical systems and microbiome research; bio-inspired multi-spectral camouflage; sensory neuroscience and physiology; Naval force health protection; undersea medicine; health monitoring and modeling research; and health and welfare of the Navy's marine mammals.
