New Pirbright Institute building to aid vaccine research against backdrop of H5N1 bird flu threat
A new UK facility providing “mission critical” infrastructure for the study of infectious diseases in poultry was launched yesterday.
The Biggs Avian Research Building was opened at the Pirbright Institute in Surrey, a research centre for infectious diseases in animals, as part of a £350 million capital investment from government through the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
