USAMRIID

USAMRIID, or the U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases, is a specialized laboratory that studies dangerous pathogens like bacteria and viruses to develop vaccines, treatments, and diagnostics. Located at Fort Detrick in Maryland, it plays a key role in protecting military personnel and the public from infectious diseases, especially those considered bioweapons or emerging threats. USAMRIID conducts research to better understand these microorganisms, ensure safety protocols, and prepare for biological emergencies, ultimately contributing to national health security.
