Background/History of the Laboratory:
The Naval Medical
Research Center's Office of Technology Transfer is part
of an ongoing Department of the Navy effort to promote
innovative discoveries that change our world for the better.
We support over 12 naval research laboratories throughout the
U.S. and around the world in their efforts to develop and
share valuable innovations. Since 1999, our portfolio has
expanded to over 150 patents and applications that cover a
wide range of technologies. Fields of research from the
biomedical, environmental, dental, aerospace, and biological
warfare defense industries focus on finding solutions to both
conventional and battlefield medical problems. Many of these
technologies have affected the lives of millions around the
world in the form of vaccines, hand-held assays, molecular
diagnostics, and confirmatory analysis.
Mission of the Laboratory:
To conduct
research, development, tests and evaluations to enhance the
health, safety and readiness of Navy and Marine Corps
personnel in the effective performance of peacetime and
contingency missions, and to perform such other functions or
tasks as may be directed by higher authority.
