New Lab Provides Key Research into Animal Diseases 

A new $58 million lab at Michigan State University will be a key to detecting diseases that start in animals but can be transmitted to people.

The Diagnostic Center for Population and Animal Health officially opened this month.

"We're set up here to handle a problem that could come 10 years down the road," said Lonnie King, dean of Michigan State University's College of Veterinarian Medicine. "We do tests for any organism in any animal. No one else is able to do that."
