MRIGlobal

Security and defense (s&d): s&d is primarily involved in research and development, engineering, and program management in the areas of countering weapons of mass destruction; chemical and biological agent and explosive test, evaluation, and engineering; mobile laboratory design, fabrication, deployment, staffing, and support; forensic and source attribution analysis, independent instrumentation test and evaluation; and rapid prototyping. S&d supports field monitoring and forensics analysis programs in support of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosives (cbrne) missions. Projects focused on the development of national security systems include mobile laboratory analytical systems, chemical containment systems, robotics systems and chemical sensors. The u.s. government funds the majority of Mriglobal's s&d work.

Global health and security (ghs): ghs conducts bio-surveillance, biosafety, and biosecurity programs for the u.s. government. Ghs's work depends on Mriglobal's ability to work with regulated substances requiring high levels of oversight and certification. Ghs is also involved in research and development in product development, repository management, diagnostics, medical countermeasures, pharmaceutical and vaccine development, and agriculture and food safety. The largest client sector is the u.s. government. Ghs performs studies that target the development of therapeutics and vaccines under federally-mandated prepared programs and in support of the pharmaceutical industry. Ghs conducts analysis programs for biological pathogens and supports test and evaluation of emerging biotechnologies and clinical diagnostics. Ghs also conducts programs to assess agriculture products requiring registration under epa requirements. Nih-sponsored programs for niehs and nci are among ghs's largest clients. The focus of these research and development programs is chemical characterization, preparation of study articles, and repository management to support toxicology and pre-clinical studies.
