Pre-Conference Event:
Labs21 Bio-Containment Symposium
October 4, 2004
As the country—and the world—adjusts to increased security
threats, scientists continue to explore innovative countermeasures
to mitigate our shared public health risks. The facilities that
house this important research hold the key to a safer and healthier
tomorrow; they also present us with a unique opportunity: adopting
sustainable design, construction, and operational strategies in
this high-growth building type.
This special half-day symposium discussed these and other questions
with internationally renowned experts.
Below is the symposium agenda, including abstracts. *For best
