PLN 3.8m of State Treasury Bonds – this is how much the Government will allocate for the reconstruction of the laboratory in the area of the Lukasiewicz – PORT scientific complex in Wroclaw. The reconstruction works are to last about 1.5 years. As a result, a Rapid Epidemiological Response Laboratory will be established there.
New laboratory in Wroclaw
Wojciech Murdzek, Minister of Science and Higher Education, handed over the decision to finance the launch of the BSL-3 Rapid Epidemiological Response Laboratory in the capital of Lower Silesia. The new laboratory will be a key element of the Centre for Population Diagnostics launched in Wroclaw by Lukasiewicz – PORT.
It will be the first such advanced laboratory in western Poland, and at the same time one of only a few in Poland. The Ministry decided to allocate PLN 3.8m for this purpose. Thanks to the donated funds the laboratory will be adapted to work with pathogens of different risk groups. In the case of BSL-3, these are biological factors which can cause severe diseases and which can be treated.
