Founded in 1954, the Advanced Research Center ("ARC") comprises an assortment of high-risk, high-reward research with the aim of maximizing the preservation of human life in the face of an increasingly daunting array of threats. Not to be confused with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), which focuses more on operational military capabilities, the Advanced Research Center takes a broader, less applied approach to science and scientific research aimed at serving the civilian population.
Conducted in highly-contained, state-of-the-art facilities by small teams of the brightest and best scientific minds in the world, ARC concentrations include bio-defense, information awareness and preservation, alternative energy sourcing, applied new mathematical topological analysis, proto-genetics, and quantum communications and computing . . . just to name a few. An Advanced Research Center team champions each concentration, spearheading new lines of research in a low-distraction, high-intensity environment. While each of our various concentrations is important, post-9/11, we have focused upon Bio-Defense as our top priority concentration.
The Advanced Research Center attracts those willing and able to commit their lives to the highest possible cause: propelling humanity into a better and brighter future.
In the post-9/11 world, the potential for the asymmetrical and amoral release of high-potency antigens rightly alarms leaders in the political, military, and scientific communities. Many feel "potential" too weak a word to describe the threat of massive loss of human life, genocide on a grand scale, posed by rogue nations and terrorist organizations in possession of biological weapons of mass destruction. As the capability to modify existing organisms or even create novel pathogens becomes more accessible, the threat-level increases and the corresponding fear becomes more real.
The Advanced Research Center Bio-Defense concentration aims to better understand biological weaponization in order to improve our defensive capabilities. Experts in virology, pathology, biochemistry, immunology, proteomics, toxicology, genetics, cellular and microbiology, epidemiology, biotechnology, etc. support BioWatch and BioShield programs to bolster threat awareness, prevention and protection, surveillance and detection, attribution, and response and recovery. In fact, over 80% of the ARC Bio-Defense team have advanced degrees. Greenfield research initiatives apply seemingly unrelated disciplines such as topological mathematics, quantum mechanics, and life sciences to produce often counter-intuitive, but highly instructive and valuable results.
The Advanced Research Center promotes an open and creative methodology, while maintaining a results-oriented culture. Whether conducting mainstream research or cutting-edge science, the Advanced Research Center strives to make us and future generations all safer and more secure.

The Advanced Research Discussion Group provides a moderated discussion forum in which professionals and casual observers alike may share their views on our project. This forum is not intended as a means of providing peer review, but as a place where the greater public may associate and interact regarding topics organized around our various concentrations.
