MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY ENTERPRISE CONSORTIUM
Focus Areas
We advance the rapid deployment of innovative medical technologies that improve the health of the military and civilians.
Military Infectious Diseases
This area focuses on the research and development of medical protection against emerging infectious disease threats to support the Warfighter’s ability to operate in any environment where these diseases are endemic/epidemic. Research and development efforts may include the prevention, prediction, and treatment of military infectious disease threats, combat wound infections, and sepsis.
