The Department of Defense’s Bio-MOD program aims to develop innovative devices and methods for producing various protein biologics in response to critical battlefield threats and medical requirements. The grant focuses on advancing genetic engineering processes for microbial, eukaryotic, and cell-free systems to synthesize multiple therapeutic proteins. Additionally, it includes the creation of portable manufacturing platforms to ensure rapid and high-quality production of these biologics at the point of care during urgent situations. Ultimately, this initiative will enhance medical support for military personnel in forward emergency settings and address pressing medical needs in real-time scenarios.

| Description:: | The Bio-MOD program seeks to develop devices and techniques to produce multiple protein biologics in response to specific battlefield threats and medical needs. This will be achieved by investing in (1) novel, flexible methodologies for genetic engineering/modification of microbial strains, eukaryotic strains, and/or cell-free systems to synthesize multiple protein-based therapeutics; and (2) flexible and portable device platforms for manufacturing multiple biologics with high purity, efficacy and potency at the point-of-care, in short timeframes, when the specific need arises. Consequently, Bio-MOD will provide a battlefield medical supply for military medics at the front lines of support that is responsive to far-forward emergency settings and emergent in-theater needs. |
