The Medical Readiness Systems Biology (MRSB) branch aims to apply robust and precise molecular-based solutions for military-relevant health performance, resilience and readiness. MRSB is a disease-agnostic program that utilizes high-throughput, multi-omics platforms supported by a suite of cutting-edge, targeted-assay tools and AI-driven analytical capabilities to identify diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, and generate a knowledge base about biological mechanisms and personalized care. MRSB is committed to developing a seamless, integrative module enabling to interrogate genome-to-phenome landscape to inform medical interventions and develop products to improve Warfighter health, performance, resilience, and readiness. 

MRSB applies its core competencies into several areas of interest including post-traumatic stress disorder and comorbidities, coagulopathy, brain injury, musculoskeletal atrophy, space biology, pain management, infectious diseases, sepsis, toxicology, radiobiology and many more. 

Applicants with expertise and interest in systems biology, integrative biology, computational biology, whole genome sequencing, metabolomic, proteomic and microbiome efforts relevant to the Military are highly encouraged to submit proposals.
