The Defense Department’s ReVector Program aims to use human skin microbiomes to decrease mosquito attraction to Warfighters and lower the risk of mosquito-borne diseases. By studying how skin-associated microbes affect an individual’s chemical signature and attractiveness to mosquitoes, the program looks to develop tools for engineering skin microbiomes. The goal is to enhance military personnel readiness and resiliency through innovative data analytics and microbiome modulation techniques. Deadline for applications is July 11, 2019.

| Description: | The ReVector program aims to develop methods to use human skin microbiomes to modulate chemical signatures in order to avoid mosquito attraction and feeding and reduce the threat of mosquito-borne disease to Warfighters. Human skin associated microbes interact with metabolites from the body and influence the personal chemical signature of each individual, making some individuals more attractive to mosquitoes. This program seeks to develop advanced data analytics and microbiome modulation tools for engineering skin microbiomes and provide new options for the readiness and resiliency of military personnel. |
