Institute for Biohealth Innovation Biomedical Research Laboratory (BRL) on the Science and Technology Campus supports infectious disease research and fosters collaborations with other national and global laboratories. The BRL operates as a central core facility to advance research and develop novel diagnostics, therapeutics, and vaccines against viral and bacterial infectious agents by a diverse population of internal and external investigators. The facility is capable of housing multiple species and has a variety of established animal models, with an emphasis on aerosolized exposures. The BRL is fully approved and licensed for work by the CDC and USDA and is accredited by the AAALAC. Photo by Evan Cantwell/George Mason University
