Kansas’s internationally recognized animal health research expertise, state-of-the-art research and industry infrastructure, and deep agricultural heritage have made it the federal government’s choice for a $650 million scientific laboratory that will boost efforts to protect the American food supply and agriculture economy.
Kansas State University in Manhattan, Kan., will be the future home of the National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF). Once built, the NBAF will serve as the nation’s premier research facility for developing vaccines and countermeasures for diseases that threaten livestock and other animals, which agricultural and bioterrorism experts consider an urgent national priority.
