OUSD (R&E) CRITICAL TECHNOLOGY AREA(S): Biomedical OBJECTIVE: The goal of BELLS is to demonstrate and commercialize practical sources of intense, tunable electrons and monochromatic hard x-rays. These sources would support transformative capabilities for applications such as non-destructive inspection, medical diagnostics, and treatments. DESCRIPTION: BELLS will develop compact sources of monoen ...

A. Overview While there are thousands of rare diseases, the number of underlying etiologies is much smaller. Moreover, many disease etiologies underlie multiple traditional diseases. This is most readily seen for rare monogenic diseases, where the most common etiologies include premature termination codons, protein misfolding, and abnormal RNA splicing. Other examples of rare disease shared molec ...
