What systems are in place to guard against malicious use of pathogens by scientists working inside the NEIDL?
Scientists and researchers hired to work at the NEIDL undergo a rigorous background check that includes, among other things, psychological testing and a review of their financial history. In addition, state-of-the-art audit systems built into the design of the NEIDL, such as use of the two-person rule in the BSL-4 lab and iris scans to access and exit certain areas, help ensure proper oversight and monitoring of pathogens.
