What is UofL doing to ensure that no biological agents escape from the lab?
The design of the lab plus the rigorous safety and security procedures that will be used there makes the chance of any agent getting out of the lab very difficult. Detailed protocols are being developed to ensure that no biological agent is accidentally transmitted from the lab by air, water, vehicles, lab animals or human contact. Even without these safeguards, the risk of contamination to people nearby is nearly zero.
