Emergency Response Laboratory Resources
Built upon the backbone of the GLRCE , the Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is catalogued all immediately available RCE laboratory and institutional resources. This catalogue, which will be available to pertinent public health officials in the event of a biodefense emergency, provides the links between public health facilities and previously-inaccessible academic and scientific facilities.
Ongoing research with the spectrum of infectious agents leaves the GLRCE solidly prepared and ideally suited to handle specimens and patients during an actual biodefense emergency.
Additionally, these institutions boast the most advanced laboratory resources, capable of isolating, managing and analyzing infectious agents. Focusing upon readiness for Category A, B and C agents, the GLRCE has distinguished itself as a unique source of expertise on the national level.
