Biosecurity And Biodefense

In addition to the risks and opportunities resulting from the democratization of biosciences tools and knowledge, the health of humans is intimately linked to the increasing interconnectedness of the global community and closely linked to the health of animals and our shared environment.

Through our range of services and capabilities, we incorporate the One Health approach with the goal of effectively managing risks posed by biological threats.

Our capabilities include developing, integrating, and deploying tools for data collection, analysis, and visualization. These provide for early warning, diagnosis/detection, situational awareness, and decision support. Our health and bioscience experts design and build containment labs domestically and internationally, including rapid, high-quality, sustainable modular design and assembly.

Our Biodefense And Biosecurity Services:

Risk assessments to identify potential biosecurity threats and vulnerabilities
Ongoing surveillance and monitoring of potential biosecurity threats
Laboratory support for the detection, identification, and characterization of pathogens and other organisms of concern
Incident response and management in the event of a biosecurity incident
Training and education on biosecurity and biodefense best practices, as well as guidance on biosecurity incident response
Technical expertise on biosecurity and biodefense issues
Support with law and regulation compliance
Continuous monitoring of biosecurity and biodefense systems performance, gathering user feedback, and making improvements

Health IT And Analytics

Our experts have developed and deployed tools for data collection, analysis, modeling and simulation, and visualization. These tools support early warning, diagnosis/detection, situational awareness, and decision support for public health and medical emergencies and events. We leverage artificial intelligence (AI), software products, high-performance computing (HPC), machine learning (ML), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and other capabilities to meet customer needs.

We offer plug-and-play platforms that provide comprehensive health surveillance, biometric-based clinical trial enrollment, and compliance monitoring programs. Additionally, our experts integrate disparate technologies and services into secure, cloud-based platforms, providing custom digital solutions for customers.

Our Health And Bioscience Services:

Systems integration of health IT – electronic health records (EHRs), laboratory information systems (LISs), public health surveillance systems
Secure health data management, including data entry, data validation, and data quality control
Data analytics
Reporting and visualization
Decision support tools, such as clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) and population health management systems (PHMSs)
