Advanced Diagnostics & Therapeutics Research & Development (AF)
Abstract
This project provides applied research funding needed to perform research in the area of diagnostic assay development / refinement for diseases of operational significance. Project funds seek to promote ‘omic’-informed personalized medicine with an emphasis on targeted prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. The delivery of pro-active, evidence-based, personalized medicine will improve health in Warfighters and beneficiaries by providing care that is specific to the situation and patient, to include preventing disease or injury, early and accurate diagnosis, and selection of appropriate and effective treatment. Personalized medicine will reduce morbidity, mortality, mission impact of illness / injury, and healthcare costs while increasing health and wellness of the AF population and efficiency of the healthcare system. This applied research supports multiple focus areas, each of which represents an identified barrier / gap which must be addressed for successful implementation of ‘omic-informed personalized medicine.
