Medical Countermeasures

Across the CBRNE Threat Spectrum

Research and deliverables from novel medical intervention technologies to patient transport to medical diagnostics — created with purpose and focus on our nation's warfighters.

As a University Affiliated Research Center designated by the U.S. Department of War (DOW), the National Strategic Research Institute (NSRI) at the University of Nebraska and the University of Nebraska System (NU) are an ideal resource for defense stakeholders who need to quickly access experienced research expertise to develop medical solutions for CBRNe threats.

NU’s four campuses provide both direct and broad support to operational elements and end users across the DOW and federal government. Our solutions create immediate and substantial impacts for the capability and safety of those responsible for protecting the country and its citizens from national security threats and highly infectious diseases.
