SPRINGFIELD, Mass. (Sept. 25, 2025). Sailors with Naval Submarine Medical Research Laboratory (NSMRL) discuss Navy diving with a Big E fair attendee during the Hartford/Springfield Navy Week event. NSMRL, part of Navy Medicine Research & Development and based out of Groton, Connecticut, sustains the readiness and superiority of U.S. undersea warfighters through innovative health and performance research and works to lead the world in delivering science solutions to ensure undersea warrior dominance. For 250 years, Navy Medicine, represented by more than 44,000 highly-trained military and civilian healthcare professionals, has delivered quality healthcare and enduring expeditionary medical support to the warfighter on, below, and above the sea and ashore.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (Nov. 14, 2025) A photo collage depicts a portrait of Surgeon William S. W. Ruschenberger who developed the Manual off the Medical Department (MANMED), the former building headquarters for the U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery (BUMED), and MANMED back issues. For over 180 years the MANMED has been a vital part of Navy Medicine—a constantly revised document ensuring the operational readiness, administrative accountability, and professional standards of the entire Navy Medicine Enterprise. This photo illustration was created by combining multiple images overlaid with text and logo. (U.S. Navy photo illustration by Andre B. Sobocinski)

SILVER SPRING, Md. (Nov. 19, 2025) Martha Sedegah, director of Naval Medical Research Command’s (NMRC) Clinical Immunology and Parasitology, Agile Vaccines and Therapeutics Department, poses for a photo in the Agile Vaccines and Therapeutics (AVAT) laboratory. She is the principal investigator working with other researchers to develop a nanoparticle vaccine model to provide a line of defense against malaria and other infectious diseases that include Lassa fever, SARS-CoV-2 and influenza. NMRC, headquarters of Navy Medicine Research & Development, 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 Navy, Marine Corps and joint U.S. warfighter health, readiness and lethality, researchers study infectious diseases, biological warfare detection and defense, combat casualty care, environmental health concerns, aerospace and undersea medicine, operational mission support and epidemiology.
