Forum Session: New facility models for multi-pathogen, multi-species emerging infectious disease research

Funding streams and fast research project timetables for emerging infectious diseases are creating the need for multi-pathogen, multi-species, aerobiology BSL-3+ labs. Only a handful of these facilities exist to benchmark against, but here you’ll not only see some the very latest examples, but you’ll get the necessary design, construction, and operating details. Jeff Zynda profiles three advanced ABSL-3+ aerobiology facilities and examines layout solutions, critical design details, and specialized equipment installations. He illustrates the key programmatic adjacencies, new rapid transfer technologies, and real-time imaging technologies in biocontainment that are providing new, optimized facility solutions.
