Biosecurity Droject to help vet labs

摘要

SOUTH Dakota State University (SDSU) has been granted a U.S. Department of Defense contract to evaluate U.S. veterinary diagnostic laboratories' efforts to keep disease-causing microbes and toxins safely inside the labs. "The whole goal behind this project is to find ways to minimize the likelihood that someone with nefarious intent could walk out of a lab with a vial of some bacteria or virus that they aren't supposed to have," said associate director and diagnostic pathologist Tanya Graham of SDSU's Animal Disease Research & Diagnostic Laboratory (ADRDL).
