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 to gain a better understanding of the biologic challenges of warfighters in their operating environments will ensure optimal performance, prevent injury, and equip the DON to provide the best care for its warfighters. Research areas include: bio-inspired autonomous systems; bioengineering; biophysics; microbial synthetic biology; microelectronics; microbial electrophysiology; microbiome research; bio-inspired multi-spectral camouflage and sensing; sensory neuroscience and physiology; Naval force health protection; undersea medicine; stress responses, health monitoring and modeling research; and health and welfare of the Navy's marine mammals.
