​​MRICD pioneered many of the techniques that have become standards in the life-science studies of chemical agents.

MRICD’s demonstrated skill in developing innovative solutions to complex technical problems has resulted in our ability to move from basic research findings to applications for medical treatment. All currently available medical countermeasures against chemical warfare agents, to include cholinolytic antidotes, oxime enzyme reactivators, carbamate pretreatments, benzodiazepine anticonvulsants, reactive skin decontaminants and topical skin protectants, were either fully developed at the MRICD or had most preclinical efficacy testing done at the MRICD prior to FDA licensure.

MRICD is strengthening the defense of our nation by rendering chemical and biochemical threats medically harmless.
