About the Facility

The aquatic biosecurity laboratory for clinical trials is located at the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine in Raleigh North Carolin. The facility was established with funds provided by the NC Biotechnology Center, College of Veterinary Medicine and the AECL. The faculty is housed in a self-contained structure comprised of eight rooms. Incoming water is stored on site, and conditioned by filtration and ultraviolet light.
