Tufts gets $9.5 million for biosafety lab at vet school
Tufts University's Cummings School of Veterinary Medicine has won a $9.5 million grant to complete a biosafety lab on its campus in Grafton.
The Massachusetts Life Sciences Center approved the grant yesterday. It will be combined with other money from Tufts and from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases for a total of $33.7 million.
Called the New England Biosafety Laboratory, it is one of 13 biosafety level 3 research labs in the country. Tufts researchers will study diseases that travel from animals to humans, pathogens that spread through the air, and other threats to human health.
