BioDesign
Abstract
BioDesign will employ system engineering methods in combination with advances in biological and chemical technologies to create novel methods for threat response. This thrust will develop new high-throughput technologies for monitoring the function of cellular machinery at the molecular level and the response(s) of that machinery to physical, chemical, or biological threats. While conventional approaches typically require decades of research, new high-throughput approaches will permit rapid assessment of the impact of known or unknown threats on identified biomolecules and cell function. Successful research in this thrust will both reduce the time required to understand the mechanism of action for new pharmaceutical compounds and enhance response capabilities for emerging and engineered threats.
