Naval Medical Research Center - SILVER SPRING, Md. (Jan. 27, 2023) – Cheryl Ewing and Julie Norton, research scientists with Naval Medical Research Center’s (NMRC) Deployment Associated Infections Division, inoculate Campylobacter jejuni bacteria as part of the laboratory’s vaccine research process. Phase 1 testing of the Campylobacter vaccine is currently underway at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Campylobacter is one of the most common causes of diarrheal illness in the U.S. and abroad, and can impact the readiness of deployed or traveling service members. NMRC is engaged in a broad spectrum of activity from basic science in the laboratory to field studies in austere and remote areas of the world to investigations in operational environments. In support of the Navy, Marine Corps, and joint U.S. warfighters, researchers study infectious diseases, biological warfare detection and defense, combat casualty care, environmental health concerns, aerospace and undersea medicine, medical modeling, simulation, operational mission support, epidemiology, and behavioral sciences.
