Global Bio-Risk &
Genomic Defense.
We do not just study pathogens; we anticipate them. Investigating the intersection of genomic surveillance, dual-use technology governance, and state-level pandemic response to secure human borders.
The Biological Shield
Research translating complex multi-omics data and pathogen surveillance into actionable intelligence for global security networks.
Biorisk Management
Developing protocols to detect, contain, and neutralize engineered and naturally occurring biological threats.
Genomics & Omics
Advancing research in transcriptomics, bio-markers, and the metabolic pathways of systemic disease.
Dual-Use Tech
Governance frameworks for biotechnologies that possess both therapeutic and destructive potential.
Pandemic Response
Architecting rapid-deployment strategies for high-consequence biological events or zoonotic spillover.
👤 Unit Leadership
Led by specialized experts in biological defense, complex genomics, and global health security.
Pending Appointment
Lab A Lead
Global Bio-Risk & Defense
Dr. Ari Meerson
Lab B Lead
Genomics & Biological Systems
Expert in molecular genomics, Oxford Nanopore sequencing, and microRNA biomarkers for chronic disease.
The West African Sentinel Node
To effectively neutralize global biological threats, intelligence must be gathered at the source. Unit 01 maintains active operational capabilities in the ECOWAS region, establishing transcontinental data pipelines for emerging pathogen surveillance and tropical epidemiology modeling.
Molecular Surveillance
Deploying rapid diagnostic protocols to monitor zoonotic spillover at the animal-human interface.
Cross-Border Intelligence
Architecting the digital and operational infrastructure required for sovereign states to share critical bio-data during crisis events.
Join the Defense Network
We invite Practitioner-Scholars to lead independent research in genomic intelligence and biological defense. Corporate and government entities may propose specialized research consortia.
