Coronavirus (COVID-19)
As experts in infectious disease research, the team of researchers and biosafety experts at MRIGlobal have been hard at work to create an impact on the coronavirus efforts. Right now, many of our divisions are dedicating time and resources to stopping the spread of COVID-19 in one way or another. Our primary focus is to help our commercial and government stakeholders by:
- Evaluating the efficacy and safety of vaccines and therapeutics, as well as developing diagnostic assays to detect COVID-19 in patients and the environment.
- Developing and sharing biosafety procedures while offering our expertise and training to other organizations working with COVID-19.
- Developing and deploying flyable infectious disease containment systems and mobile diagnostic laboratories that users can field anywhere in the world.
MRIGlobal also supports preparing businesses for the pandemic by sharing our expertise in biosafety and pandemic preparedness.
From an engineering perspective, we design and build innovative systems such as our Containerized Biocontainment System (CBCS), a medical transport unit designed to evacuate patients to clinical centers.
In addition, our diagnostics capability allows us to develop new assays and rapid diagnostics for clients across the globe. With our overall countermeasure efforts, we’re pushing the development of testing methods for an effective coronavirus vaccine.
