the sunshine project Key: High Containment Labs and Other Facilities of the US Biodefense Program This map shows existing biosafety level three and four facilities used in US biodefense research, as well as planned biodefense labs. It also shows important aerosol facilities and open air testing locations used in biodefense. BSL-3/4 facilities not known to be heavily dedicated to biodefense are not indicated here.
