Medical Countermeasures
We’re passionate about global health. Our work in medical countermeasures protects our warfighters, family, friends, and the world as a whole.
MRIGlobal accelerates the discovery and development of broad-spectrum medical countermeasures to prevent or mitigate the adverse health effects resulting from chemical threat agents, infectious disease, and bioterrorism.
what we test
Our specialists in Medical Countermeasures develop and test vaccines and therapeutics.
IND-NDA-enabling studies include maximum tolerated dose, dose-range finding/selection, subacute, subchronic, and chronic toxicity testing, pathophysiological mechanisms, and more. MRIGlobal can provide bioanalysis and toxicokinetic analysis for the toxicology studies.
MRIGlobal’s capabilities and expertise for developing and qualifying chemical agent small- and large-animal models include exposures by multiple routes (e.g., dermal vapor and liquid, vapor and liquid ocular, intratracheal, nose, whole body, parenteral injection), in anesthetized or non-anesthetized models, and telemetrized or non-telemetrized models.
MRIGlobal evaluates drugs, therapeutics, prophylaxis, and vaccines for both biodefense and industrial applications against pathogenic bacteria, viruses, and toxins.
- Infection models and natural history studies
- In vitro and in vivo safety studies
- Animal model development
MRIGlobal understands that consistently delivering high-quality outcomes is imperative. Since 1979, MRIGlobal has performed FDA-audited GLP-compliant studies with no issues. We also work within all animal welfare laws and regulations to ensure we are upholding our scientific integrity.
MRIGlobal offers a unique mix of chemical and biological containment facilities and traditional preclinical toxicology facilities. Here, we research regulatory and non-regulatory compliant safety and efficacy solutions against chemical or biological threats that pose a global health risk.
WHY MRIGLOBAL?
MRIGlobal is one of only a handful of organizations in the U.S. with containment labs where we are able to work with the very agents we are working to counteract.
Additionally, we are the only private organization in the United States that has held a U.S. Army Bailment Agreement for storing and handling chemical warfare agents for more than 60 years.
