UK animal-health institute plans expansion and recruitment.
The Institute for Animal Health in Pirbright, UK, is recruiting about 15 early-career researchers in fields such as animal virology and avian disease. On 29 November, the institute announced that it is to receive at least £80 million (US$125 million) from the UK government, to augment a £100-million development project launched last year. The plans call for a high-containment lab and facilities for research and translation of research into disease-control products. Michael Johnson, head of the Pirbright laboratory, says that more positions may arise in the next 2 years. The labs should be completed by 2016.
