New academic laboratory aims to expand Vegas’ testing capabilities — KNPR

A new academic laboratory in the Las Vegas medical district will also serve as a biosafety level three lab, allowing researchers to study lethal, highly infectious diseases. The 44-million-dollar facility was unveiled on Wednesday, Oct. 22.

The new academic laboratory is being built by the Nevada Health & Bioscience Corporation, which is the same nonprofit that developed UNLV’s Kirk Kerkorian Medical Education building in 2022.

The two-story lab will sit adjacent to that building, on over 34,000 square feet of land.
