History
The design and construction of the Biosecurity Research Institute meets criteria for Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) and Biosafety Level 3 Agriculture (BSL-3Ag). Research at the BRI helps to ensure a safe food supply and prevent major economic losses to the agriculture and food industries. It is located inside Pat Roberts Hall, a building named in recognition of Kansas Senator Pat Roberts' efforts to protect America from agro-terrorism.
