The Nano-Bio Manufacturing Consortium (NBMC) for the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) has been formed by FlexTech Alliance in collaboration with a nationwide group of partners. Its mission is to bring together leading scientists, engineers, and business development professionals from industry and universities to work collaboratively to create an integrated suite of nano-bio manufacturing technologies and transition them to production. Initial activities focus on AFRL/DoD priorities, including, physiological readiness and human performance monitoring.
