The safety that this environment provides allows manipulations of biohazardous material not provided by the usual BSL2 microbiology laboratory. This presentation will give attendees a better understanding of this type of laboratory and provide a peak within the environment and the processes that take place there. The work performed by the Saint John New Brunswick BSL3 laboratory will also be covered.
