Take a virtual tour of the BRI building which is a comprehensive
biosafety level 3 facility, providing an environmentally safe and secure
location for K-state scientists to study pathogens that threaten humans,
livestock and crops. Research conducted in the BRI will examine pathways
by which pathogens can spread and look at issues related to
counter-measures and animal carcass disposal after a potentially
catastrophic event. On-site virtual tour is limited to 50 registrants.

Dr. David Ashford, Assistant Area Director, International Services,

of Dr. Donald C. Kelley, Professor of Veterinary Public Health at Kansas
State University College of Veterinary Medicine from 1958 to 1978. It
was Dr. Kelley’s belief that public health is not a separate discipline
