From blockbuster to biotech breakthroughs
BTO Program Manager Michael Feasel, Ph.D., discusses his extraordinary journey to the forefront of American innovation.
From a pre-med student who found his calling in an inorganic chemistry class, to career inspiration from a Nicolas Cage film, Feasel's path was anything but conventional. He shares how a chance Thanksgiving conversation launched his career in chemical and biological defense, and how he was later recruited to DARPA.
| “ | We take on the notion if someone comes to us and says, I have an idea and it's gonna sound crazy, but if it works, the world tomorrow looks different than it does today. You can't do that anywhere else that I know of, at least. – Mike Feasel, program manager, BTO |

Transforming battlefield casualty care
DARPA is focusing on the Live Chain: The critical steps of tactical combat casualty care that bridge the gap between injury on the battlefield and arrival at surgical care. The Live Chain encompasses self-aid, buddy-aid, medic care, en-route care during evacuation, and ultimately, surgical intervention.
The aim is to ensure warfighters survive the pre-surgical period despite the increased time between injury and definitive medical care.
