HISTORY

Dr. Kaitlyn Morse's Story

Dr. Kaitlyn Morse is the driving force behind BeBop Labs. Dr. Morse’s support for personalized health and personalized education initiated BeBop Labs. Previously, Dr. Morse created a vaccine against tick-borne pathogen Anaplasmosis, and followed that experience with working at Mass. General Hospital/ Harvard Medical School Infectious Disease Division inventing a laser adjuvant. When Dr. Morse moved to New Hampshire, she knew she wanted to continue to make the world a healthier place and to engage her heart as well as her intellect. What better way to do that than start a nonprofit organization?

Dr. Morse quickly noticed that there was a paucity of information on ticks and tick-borne diseases throughout NH. Even though her previous experience was creating vaccines, she decided an epidemiology direction would be more effective in remote northern NH.

At the time it was rare for ticks from local communities to be collected and tested. And at-risk locations had yet to be identified. Testing for ticks and tick-borne disease was only done by state and governmental bodies. But people wanted more information, including the likelihood of getting bit by an infected tick at local parks and favorite outdoor places. It was time for tick collection, identification, and testing to become a community-level project. But tracking ticks and tick-borne diseases would be only the beginning.

BeBop Lab's Beginning

Through her experience teaching at Plymouth State University, Dr. Morse realized the ways in which higher education could be improved. Networking within the community showed her that people wanted to take charge of their health and were able to ask the right questions but didn’t have the resources to answer them. The need for hands-on education together with the tick problem was the initial inspiration for BeBop Labs.

At BeBop we believe that we are creating a system for our community to collectively discover how accessible science can make our lives healthier. We are changing how knowledge is gained.

Fun Fact:

BeBop Labs was named after Dr. Morse’s chocolate lab, She is pictured below.

The Master Declaration

"BeBop Labs accelerates public health resilience by engineering decentralized, community-driven vector surveillance frameworks. Our mission is to ingest, validate, and disseminate high-fidelity tick-borne epidemiological data, granting the public direct access to an advanced, collaborative mapping matrix. By transitioning citizen observations into gold-standard science, we cultivate localized biosecurity intelligence, invent scalable mitigation tools, and empower individuals to defend their families and communities against chronic tick-borne illness."

Core Commitments

I. Vector Epidemiology & Biological Safeguards: We are single-mindedly committed to protecting the biological well-being of our community from tick-borne pathogens. We anchor our data networks to absolute transparency, validating the ground-truth realities of chronic, complex modern health threats like Lyme disease.
II. Empirical Knowledge & Collaborative Innovation: We advance regional epidemiological awareness by translating raw crowd telemetry into peer-reviewed, open-access datasets. Through rigorous Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) laboratory validation, we bridge the gap between community field insights and national public health repositories.
III. Proliferation of Decentralized Diagnostic Tools: We pioneer and propagate accessible, high-utility surveillance methods. By optimizing standard consumer mobile edge hardware to function as advanced biological tracking sensors, we democratize scientific discovery and put actionable containment tools directly into the hands of the public.

ABOUT BEBOP LABS:

COMMUNITY SCIENCE / NATIONAL IMPACT

"BeBop Labs operates as an independent, non-profit 501(c)(3) bio-surveillance institution dedicated to the empirical research, cryptographic isolation, and democratic dissemination of vector-borne epidemiological data. Deploying the BIO-JP2.0 Ingestion Framework, we manage high-volume, crowdsourced tick surveillance across New Hampshire. Moving beyond basic tracking, our Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) laboratory pipelines run automated pre-classifications followed by rigorous PCR pathogen multiplex screenings, empirically identifying regional hotspots for Lyme, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosis to supply national HHS open-data networks."

Quantifiable Operational Metrics

(Active 2026 Scope)

Vector Epidemiology Infrastructure (Active Network) We deploy the BIO-JP2.0 Ingestion Framework to manage high-volume, crowdsourced tick-borne disease surveillance across New Hampshire. Moving beyond basic tracking, our Human-in-the-Loop (HITL) laboratory pipelines run automated pre-classifications followed by rigorous PCR pathogen multiplex screenings, empirically identifying regional hotspots for Lyme disease, Anaplasmosis, and Babesiosis to supply national epidemiological research models.
Decentralized Laboratory Access & Open Data Provision We have successfully decentralized the traditional scientific repository. By providing public access to a secure, collaborative data network backed by Global Development Group (GDG.LLC), we equip local individuals, medical professionals, and civic leaders with enterprise-grade tracking tools. This infrastructure empowers communities to log mobile telemetry, isolate complex vector variables, and actively contribute clean, anonymized JSON datasets directly to federal health grids (HHS/LymeX).
