U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED)BUMED is the headquarters command for Navy Medicine. Hyperion is supporting BUMED through several delivery order awards under an Omnibus ID/IQ contract. We provide support for the Navy’s research programs throughout the Naval Medical Research Center. Our support includes clinical research coordination, laboratory support, bioinformatics, medical librarian services, program and logistics management for clinical trials, and other research services. |
U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases (USAMRIID)USAMRIID, an organization of the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command, is the lead medical research laboratory for the U.S. Biological Defense Research Program. The Institute plays a key role as the only laboratory in the Department of Defense equipped to safely study highly hazardous infectious agents requiring maximum containment at biosafety level (BSL)-4. Hyperion provides animal husbandry, glassware services, and other facility support services for the Veterinary Medicine Division including the Large Animal Research Facility at USAMRIID. |
U.S. Air Force School of Aerospace Medicine (USAFSAM)USAFSAM is charged with the training of doctors, nurses and medical technologists engaged in the prevention and treatment of injuries that occur at altitude and during medical evacuation of casualties from the battlefield. Hyperion understands the USAFSAM mission and the needs of the USAF medical community. We are experts at finding the right Ph.D. level scientists and M.S. and B.S. level support staff needed to execute scientific research projects. Our corporate technical expertise includes wound healing, hyperbaric medicine, and medical issues related to altitude. Back to Top |
U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research (USAISR)USAISR is charged with the identification and evaluation of new technologies to save the lives of men and women injured on the battlefield. USAISR explores technologies that are on the cutting edge of medical science with the goal of accomplishing rapid transitions from concept to prototype to FDA-approved technology used on the battlefield or in the military hospital. USAISR is also interested in improving the quality of life for those that have been seriously injured. In practice this means restoring tissue that has been lost to trauma. New approaches developed by USAISR and its collaborators to grow new bone, muscle and skin have far reaching applications to all people, not just those injured in military conflict. Hyperion provides scientific contract staff to support the tissue regeneration research effort. This is a growing mission and the role Hyperion will have in terms of scientific support is likely to expand. |
Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA)DTRA is one of several federal agencies responsible for finding medical countermeasures to Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). Hyperion has been engaged to support several DTRA programs related to novel therapeutic approaches to treat infectious diseases and toxins. Hyperion scientists have developed and proposed a variety of solutions with a specific focus on proof-of-concept studies exploring the use of small DNA molecules called aptamers. A succinct description of aptamers can be found here. Hyperion is actively working on defining intellectual property for the use of aptamers as a means of delivering large molecules across cell membranes. Hyperion scientists in the disciplines of cell and molecular biology have played a leadership role in development of aptamer based drug delivery technology. |
Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL)/711th Human Performance WingAFRL/711th Human Performance Wing is engaged in research to improve and enhance the performance of airmen under extreme environmental conditions and when challenged with threats, including directed energy weapons and WMD. Hyperion has supported various AFRL missions with expert scientific support. Back to Top |
Air Force Surgeon General (AFSG)AFSG has a wide area of responsibility that includes oversight of occupational and environmental health issues that are Air Force specific and improve the medical management of patients under the care of Aeromedical Evacuation (AE) caregivers. Hyperion has been engaged by AFSG to answer a number of critical issues related to AE. The scope of the work performed by Hyperion scientific support staff includes pre-clinical assessment of the effect of altitude on injuries occurring in Iraq and Afghanistan and evaluation of medical devices used in-flight. This work occurs because Hyperion understands the mission, the environment, and the culture of AE. Hyperion works closely with AFSG program managers to ensure our work is on track, on time, and delivers the information needed to improve clinical outcomes |
Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC)Hyperion has provided contract support to AFSOC to answer questions related to optimizing performance of battlefield airmen. AFSOC is charged with supporting the Air Force mission by recovering injured flyers behind enemy lines and identifying enemy targets for destruction. Their work is challenging because the conditions under which they are deployed are austere and far removed from extensive logistical or medical support. In addition, AFSOC operates under environmental extremes that include high altitude, both very high and very low temperatures, exposure to infectious disease agents, WMD, chemicals and contaminated food and water. Hyperion has worked closely with AFSOC to find methods of increasing the performance of the battlefield airmen. |
U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command (USAMRMC)Under an STTR, Hyperion has been given the opportunity to develop a proprietary physical performance biomarker technology that will have far-reaching impact on the methods by which soldiers operate and train. The technology has many implications for both the civilian and military communities. Back to Top |
