Computational Biology
At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, computational biology is the organizing framework that reveals fundamental processes and principles.
Distributed Wind
PNNL’s research, data, and analysis help interested parties, policymakers, and industry understand issues unique to distributed wind in the United States.
Disaster Recovery
PNNL develops tools and partnerships to better anticipate, protect against, and respond effectively to emergencies and aid disaster recovery.
Legislative and Regulatory Analysis
PNNL maintains a dedicated legislative and regulatory analysis and development capability.
Biology
At PNNL, our biology researchers explore human and soil microbiomes to understand their function. We also use nanoscale proteomics, advanced metabolomics, and structural biology to analyze the molecular contents of cells, tissues, plants, and ecosystems. Then we use computational biology to make predictions about how these systems respond to change. Finally, we even manipulate the systems using synthetic biology to take steps to design biological solutions that make the world a better place.
Wind Energy
Wind energy research at PNNL is funded by DOE’s Wind Energy Technologies Office (WETO). PNNL partners with WETO to meet its twofold mission: enable the innovations needed to advance the nation’s wind energy systems, and address wind energy market and deployment barriers, including siting and environmental impacts for wind power.
Proactive Defense
PNNL researchers combine applied research with state-of-the-art techniques to improve the cybersecurity policies and controls of our sponsors.
Stakeholder Engagement
PNNL routinely engages a broad, multidisciplinary range of stakeholders to explore innovative ideas and emerging issues and build integrated solutions.
