Wakefield, Mass.–April. 14, 2025—Odyssey Systems Consulting Group, Ltd, a leading provider of integrated defense capabilities and technologies, announced today it was re-awarded a contract to develop new interventions for wound infections and pre-injury Point-of-Injury (POI), and post-injury care within the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research (WRAIR), Center for Military Infectious Disease Research (CIDR), Bacterial Diseases Branch (BDB), and the Wound Infections Department (WID).
 
“The proven performance of Odyssey’s Life Sciences Group directly resulted in being re-awarded this contract,” said Stefania Dobre, Executive Director of Odyssey’s Life Sciences Group. “These advancements in countermeasures are critical to sustaining and supporting the warfighter and mission-readiness.”
