Research - The Regional Biocontainment Laboratory

MU and collaborating scientists from other institutions will study a variety of pathogens including bacteria and viruses. The goal of these studies is to develop drugs, treatments and vaccines to combat these microorganisms so that they no longer pose a threat to public health. Some of the organisms that will be studied at the lab are dangerous if not handled properly. Therefore, the facility will be designed and built to meet and exceed stringent federal safety standards to protect researchers and the community.
