Division of Wound Biology and Translational Research
The Division is capable of supporting wartime and peacetime missions of bacteriology, virology, immunology, molecular biology, genomics, and manufacturing. The Division provides diagnostic, therapeutic, prognostic, and bioinformatic capability for current and emerging bacterial and viral infectious diseases. We are a CDC approved testing Site for Swine Flu detection. The Division is hosting the Combat Wound Initiative Program (CWIP) BioRepository. We are providing the CWIP program with the scientific expertise in wound bioburden analysis, molecular diagnostics and therapeutics using cutting edge instrumentation and techniques. The Division is establishing a "Combat Wound Microbial Culture Collection", "Combat Wound Genomic Repository" and "Combat Wound Antibiotic Resistant Plasmid Library". These collections represent a significant resource in conducting research in the area of the combat related infections and genetic characterization of the microbial agents isolated from these wounds. This initiative will clearly lead to improved treatment and faster recovery of our combat wounded soldiers.
