KSU BRI is First National Biosafety and Biocontainment Training Facility
May 9, 2008| |
Kansas State University’s Biosecurity Research Institute (KSU BRI) has been designated as the first training facility for the National Biosafety and Biocontainment Training Program in the United States. It is the only biosafety level-3 biocontainment research and training facility in the U.S. that can accommodate high-consequence pathogen research on food animals, food crops and food processing under one roof, which allows for a more comprehensive research approach.
The National Biosafety and Biocontainment Training Program provide the latest in professional education to those who operate, maintain and work in biocontainment laboratories. It was established in 2004 through a partnership of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and the Office of Research Services, Division of Occupational Health and Safety of the National Institutes of Health.
