BTO develops diagnostic and assessment systems to identify chemical and biological threats, medical countermeasures, and novel approaches to tactical care and warfighter performance and recovery on and off the battlefield.

Apr 1, 2014 · BTO is looking into pursuing new insights derived from biological complexity and living-system dynamics with the goal of developing applications to enhance global-scale stability and human wellbeing. The Biochronicity program studies the role of time in biological functions.

Aug 13, 2024 · The Biological Technologies Office (BTO) of the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) is hosting two promotional events for bio-innovators, blue sky thinkers, and AI/ML experts to: Get to know BTO program managers; Discover the vision for the office

BTO leadership is interested in engaging first-time or non-traditional proposers and seeks revolutionary approaches to emerging or anticipated Department of Defense challenges. During these events, BTO will introduce five new overarching topics that align with AI/ML applications: Prediction and Health; Autonomous Science

BTO’s programs operate across a wide range of scales, from individual cells to the warfighter to global ecosystems. BTO responds to the urgent and long-term needs of the Department of Defense (DoD) and addresses national security priorities.

The Biological Technologies Office (BTO) seeks to gain a better understanding of biotechnological advancements and gaps that could contribute to the ability to synthesize de novo DNA and RNA sequences in vivo. DARPA may elect to host a workshop predicated on subject of this RFI in Arlington, VA on May 1st, 2025, and a subset
