Research

Research areas of interest at Biosystems are diverse and multi-disciplinary. Ongoing projects include rapid detection of pathogens in air, food, water and clinical specimens as well as determination of mutagenicity, carcinogenicity and teratogenicity potential of hazardous chemicals in the environment.  Other research is centered on interests of scientists in their specialized disciplines of Agriculture, Agronomy, Bacteriology, Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Chemistry, Entomology, Environmental Science, Food Science, Horticulture, Immunology, Industrial Hygiene, Microbiology, Medicine, Molecular Biology, Mycology, Parasitology, Pharmacy, Plant Physiology, Plant Pathology, Public Health, Toxicology, Virology and Zoology as well as Biological, Chemical, Civil and Environmental Engineering.  Contract research assignments on a variety of subjects are also accepted from our sponsors, either in collaboration with others or independently.

Development

Biosystems is involved in the development of allergens, antibiotics, antibodies (monoclonal and polyclonal), antigens, antisera, biological control organisms, biochips, biologics, carcinogens, cell and organ culture (human, animal, plant), diagnostic reagents, drugs, consumables of biological origin, drugs, enzymes, foods, genomics, medical devices, micro-arrays, mutagens, pharmaceuticals, proteomics, teratogens, toxins and vaccines for the benefit of life in general and human society in particular.  The development of self-contained, independent biological systems and their components for deployment in space to serve as a source of food, clean air and waste removal as well as bioindicators and aesthetic elements for the confined environment of space stations is of special interest to us. Similarly, the development of improved biological systems for biomonitoring and bio-disposal of hazardous wastes in both terrestrial and extraterrestrial environment is also of considerable interest to us.  

Additionally, a host of R&D assignments of interest to our sponsors are accepted and completed on an exclusive confidential basis when the data is proprietary to our sponsors or on a collaborative, joint-venture basis when such data are developed together.
