Researchers at PNNL are pursuing new approaches to understand, predict and control the phenome—the collection of biological traits within an organism shaped by its genes and interactions with the environment.

PNNL biodefense experts seek to identify, understand and mitigate the risks of biological pathogens—whether naturally occurring or intentionally created—so steps can be taken to prepare and respond.

Researchers are developing and deploying solutions to reduce risk and increase efficiency while keeping people and the environment safe.

COMPASS points to understanding nature’s transition zones—areas that can be dry land at times and under water at others.

Tomorrow’s scientific leaders gain real-world experience contributing to PNNL’s research and development.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

Despite the challenges, the talented and dedicated staff at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory kept delivering for the nation.

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.
