Basic Research in Life Sciences (formerly titled Basic research in molecular, physiological, and systems biology)
Abstract
Pursue fundamental discoveries in life sciences with the ultimate goal of facilitating the development of novel biomaterials to greatly enhance Soldier protection and performance. More specifically, i) molecular genetics research pursues fundamental studies in molecular and systems biology, and genetics, ii) neurosciences research investigate the physiology underlying perception, neuro-motor output, and potential methods of monitoring cognitive states during activity, iii) biochemistry research focuses on studies in structural and cell biology, metabolic processes, and biophysics; iv) research in microbiology pursues studies in microbial physiology, ecology, and evolution, and v) social science research aims to elucidate the social, cultural, and other influences to human actions. In FY13 this section includes some research activities and funding previously described under research in brain-electronic interfaces.
