Computational Biology
At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, computational biology is the organizing framework that reveals fundamental processes and principles.
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.
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.
Global Collaborations
With leading researchers, sponsors, and collaborators at the table, PNNL examines complex and evolving national security technology and policy issues worldwide.
