Some of the world鈥檚 most deadly pathogens, including Lassa fever and Ebola,
will be studied at a new top-security laboratory, which is due to open later
this month.
French pharmaceuticals company M茅rieux built the lab in Lyon. It is
designed to resist earthquakes and armed attack, says the lab鈥檚 director, Susan
Fisher-Hoch. Staff will wear pressurised suits similar to those worn in nuclear
plants.
