This technology is applicable to the remediation of any contaminant that can be consumed or degraded by a biological organism. This technology can benefit both the military and civilian populations. Because of their specificity and efficiency these biocatalysts have potential application for use in a variety of industrial situations. These include facilitating the synthesis or breakdown of various specific chemicals of interest. We also use biochemical treatments to improve the performance of shipboard oily waste treatment systems.
Biochemical treatments are effective for a variety of organic wastes.
We integrate the most effective treatment components to develop effective, sailor-friendly shipboard treatment systems. Red Blood Cell substitutes have been an area of research by both the military and commercial research communities-with similar needs for different patient populations. The military use is under the umbrella of combat casualty. These cells contain all of the required DNA machinery to become virtually any kind of cell. Research has included induced differentiation of cells into neurons for cell-based sensing applications.
