Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS)

SwRI will be exhibiting at the Military Health System Research Symposium (MHSRS), booth no. 813.

Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) is a premier independent, nonprofit R&D organization. We offer multidisciplinary services leveraging advanced science and applied technologies. SwRI has a long history of R&D for military health and is currently involved in developing solutions for some of the toughest problems in the field, including drug discovery, chemical countermeasures, blood analogs, transfusion products, fieldable screening kits for traumatic brain injury, human performance optimization, and injury risk assessment and mitigation in challenging environments.

Please join us for the following presentation:

Monday, Aug. 3
1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m.
Session: Novel Methods for Identifying, Mitigating & Determining Health Impacts of OEH Exposures

“Analysis and Discovery of Breath-Based Biomarkers for Performance and Health Metrics,” Mark Libardoni

Exhaled breath is an underutilized but highly promising matrix for real time, non invasive assessment of human health, performance, and exposure status. Breath contains a complex mixture of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), metabolic byproducts, aerosols, and biological signatures that can reflect both acute physiological states and longer-term health trajectories. This presentation describes recent advances in analytical chemistry, sensor technology, and data driven modeling that enable the discovery and interpretation of breath based biomarkers relevant to occupational and environmental health (OEH) exposures.
