Scientists and medical professionals now can track disease outbreaks better with the aid of a new online resource. The Biosurveillance Gateway, now in operation at Los Alamos National Laboratory, serves as a centralized portal for news and resources about global disease surveillance. Biosurveillance is an emerging field of importance for national security, according to Los Alamos laboratory officials. This new site offers several tools developed at the laboratory that can be used for sequence databases, contextual-izing disease outbreaks and advanced bioinformatics. Users can access laboratory-developed resources, information about biosurveillance research and capabilities, and biosurveillance presentations and publications.
