RAV3N BSL-3/BSL-4 Facilities and Operations Workshop

The 3-day workshop hosted by the Operations, Biosafety and Biorisk Working Group of RAV3N took place in College Station and Galveston, Texas on September 24-26, 2024 and convened experts from across the RAV3N network to discuss many biocontainment facility related topics and issues related to operational standing up and maintenance of these complex facilities. In addition to the roundtable discussions on diverse topics in maintenance and lessons learned in biocontainment facilities, our members also had the opportunity to tour the Texas A&M University Global Health Research Complex and the University of Texas Medical Branch Galveston National Laboratory.

Our sincere appreciation to RAV3N members for the great discussions and for sharing their knowledge and experience with colleagues!
