| International Veterinary Biosafety Workgroup |
Welcome to the website of the International Veterinary Biosafety Workgroup.
Our mission is to promote best practice in microbiological biocontainment and safety in veterinary laboratories that have national responsibility for the health of large animals, and which operate at biosafety level 3 and 4. We are truly international as our members come from a diverse range of agencies all over the world, and have a range of responsibilities and skills, including directors, biosafety advisers, biocontainment engineers. To find out more information about the group, please browse our site using the page navigation above, or contact us on info.ivbw@gmail.com. | In memory of Paul It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to Paul Langevin, a founding member and very active contributor to our Workgroup. Paul was instrumental in advancing biosafety and biocontainment in the veterinary field. Many of us had the privilege of learning from his extensive knowledge and experience, in which he was always generous to share. But Paul was much more than a respected expert and colleague. He was a good friend to many of us, and his warmth, humor, and willingness to help will be greatly missed. Paul leaves behind a lasting legacy in biosafety and in the IVBW community. We are grateful for everything he taught us and for the many memories we shared. Rest in peace, Paul. You will be deeply missed. |
