A Space Designed to Accommodate
DIVERSE RESEARCH PLANS

---

Since opening, the UWBF has hosted the University of Wyoming’s massive COVID-19 testing program, supporting a safe return to campus life in the 2020-2021 academic year. The lab recently hosted a brucellosis sequencing project to characterize the strains of Brucella abortus circulating among Wyoming’s elk. The facility’s features offer so many more possibilities for discovery.
