BIRMINGHAM, Alabama — Birmingham’s Southern Research Institute
will perform work valued at $580,000 to help protect Armenia against
biological threats.
Southern Research is performing similar work under a sub-contract from
Black & Veatch in the Ukraine. There, a high-containment laboratory
and a biosafety level 3 training program have been put in place.
In Armenia, Southern Research will assist Black & Veath in designing
a program for the U.S. Department of Defense’s Threat Reduction Agency.
That agency works to safeguard allies against weapons of mass
destruction, including biological agents,
“Working with Black & Veatch allows Southern Research to use our
unique knowledge and expertise in helping to provide global safety
and advancing critical research,” CEO Jack Secrist said in a statement.
