Liberty’s Expeditionary Science and Special Programs Laboratory (X-Lab) develops bioengineering and clinical solutions to challenging medical, commercial and industrial unmet needs. These solutions are derived from novel organisms obtained from government and Liberty's own proprietary collection of extremophile biologics. The X-Lab's multidisciplinary team of microbiologists and bioinformaticians are supported by physicians and experts drawn from military and intelligence communities.
