The science of elite human performance is evolving at a rapid pace as researchers tap into data from the human body to reveal the complex roles of sleep, nutrition, genetics, training, and neuroscience in the performance of the world’s top athletes. SwRI's Human Performance Initiative (HPI) applies a multidisciplinary scientific and engineering approach to better understand and quantify the complex biomechanical and physiological components of physical performance.

Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) is an emerging sexually transmitted pathogen that causes non-gonococcal urethritis in men and has been significantly associated with a range of reproductive tract diseases in women. Clinically, MG eradication remains a difficult task, and high rates of treatment failure indicate MG can cause persistent infection. It is unclear how MG persists in the host genital tract. Although antigenic variation has long been believed to contribute to MG persistence, this mechanism fails to explain MG persistent infection following standard antibiotic treatment.

Tauopathies, including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal dementia, are degenerative disorders characterized by accumulation of aggregated tau protein in the brains of affected individuals. AD affects an estimated 5.2 million Americans, and is the only cause of death among the top ten in the US that lacks a disease-modifying therapy or method of prevention. It has become increasingly recognized that tau-based therapies may be effective in treating AD, with the added benefit of potentially being used to treat other tauopathies.
