马萨诸塞州波士顿市波士顿大学国家新发传染病实验室获5750万美元五年期资助：为全美仅有的两家国家生物安全实验室之一
马萨诸塞州萨福克县波士顿市的波士顿大学11月9日公布，该校国家新发传染病实验室获国家过敏与传染病研究所5750万美元新资助。研究所为国立卫生研究院下属机构。
校方称，该五年期资助将直接支持实验室运营，包括生物安全系统与生物安全项目、设施维护、严格的监管合规与监督、专门的生物防护培训与先进技术研究支持服务。该实验室为生物安全四级实验室，属最严格的生物防护标准，研究人员已在此推进埃博拉、马尔堡与寨卡等重点病原体研究。实验室2009年建成，为全美仅有的两家国家生物安全实验室之一。2024年，国立卫生研究院曾资助该实验室750万美元用于设施现代化。
实验室临时主任罗伯特·戴维称，美国人面临新发与再发传染病的增长威胁，该资助肯定了实验室作为国家资源的专业能力与角色。校方称，实验室科学家已主导数十项致病病原体研究，推动新的诊断、疫苗与疗法开发，近期项目包括蚊媒疾病传播与登革病毒复制研究。
校方报道同时提及，刚果民主共和国一轮埃博拉疫情已感染逾一万人、近五千人死亡，实验室研究人员已加入开发与测试新疫苗的国际努力。本稿只报道校方发布所载资助事实与机构信息，不作个体诊疗建议。
Boston University National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories in Boston, Massachusetts, Wins 57.5 Million Dollars in Five-Year Funding: One of Only Two National Biocontainment Labs in the United States
Boston University in Boston, Suffolk County, Massachusetts, announced on November 9, 2026, that its National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories has received 57.5 million dollars in new funding from the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health.
The university said the five-year funding will directly support the laboratory operations, including biosecurity systems and biosafety programs, facility maintenance, strict regulatory compliance and oversight, specialized biocontainment training, and advanced technical research support services. The laboratory holds Biosafety Level 4 status, the most stringent containment criteria, and its researchers have advanced studies on Ebola, Marburg, Zika and other priority pathogens. Completed in 2009, it is one of only two national biocontainment labs in the United States. In 2024, the National Institutes of Health awarded the lab 7.5 million dollars to modernize its facilities.
Interim director Robert A. Davey said Americans face a growing threat from new, emerging and reemerging infectious diseases, and that the award recognizes the laboratory expertise and its role as a national resource. The university said laboratory scientists have led dozens of studies into disease-causing pathogens, helping spur development of new diagnostics, vaccines and therapeutics, with recent projects on how mosquitoes spread disease and how the dengue virus replicates.
The university report also noted an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo that has infected more than 10,000 people and killed nearly 5,000, and said laboratory researchers have joined an international effort to develop and test a new vaccine. This report covers only the funding facts and institutional information in the university release and makes no individual treatment recommendation.
