Biotechnology

MITRE's scientists are combining their expertise in biotechnology with information technology for applications in security, national intelligence, and defense projects.

Overview

MITRE's scientists are combining their expertise in biotechnology with information technology for applications in security, national intelligence, and defense projects. We're using our expertise in systems engineering, bio-surveillance, and modeling and simulation to improve biosecurity capabilities. Moreover, when work delves into biological and neuroscience informatics, the science behind these projects can also be used to solve a variety of problems that are not necessarily biological—such as understanding human performance, searching through large databases, or improving the organizational structure of a government agency. By combining several of MITRE's areas of expertise, we can provide our government sponsors with workable solutions.
