Radiation Countermeasures (USUHS)
Abstract
Radiation Countermeasures (USU): For the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences (USU), this program supports applied research for advanced development of biomedical strategies to prevent and treat health consequences from exposure to ionizing radiation. It capitalizes on findings under PE 0602787HP, Medical Technology, and from industry and academia to advance novel medical countermeasures into and through pre-clinical studies toward newly licensed products. Program objectives focus on preventing or mitigating the health consequences from exposures to ionizing radiation alone or in combination with other injuries, in the context of probable threats to US forces in current tactical, humanitarian and counterterrorism mission environments. Findings from basic and developmental research are integrated into highly focused advanced technology development studies yielding protective and therapeutic strategies.
