The Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) inaugurates today its new Level 3 laboratory (CL3), which propels research on numerous pathogens. CL3 will enable research teams to handle pathogens of concern to public health in Quebec and around the world, such as SARS-CoV-2, West Nile virus and the bacteria that cause tuberculosis, in safe conditions. This leading-edge laboratory, located at the Armand-Frappier Santé Biotechnologie Research Centre of INRS, is directed by Professor Laurent Chatel-Chaix. It will allow in vitro research on several high-risk pathogens under infectious conditions close to those of the diseases they cause.
