Training and Capacity Building Program in BSL-3 Laboratory
17 February @ 08:00 - 20 February @ 17:00

The National Research Center for Energy and Materials (CNPEM) will host the Training and Capacity Building Program in BSL-3 Laboratory from February 17 to 20, 2025, at the CNPEM campus in Campinas, São Paulo.
The activities will take place in a training laboratory designed to simulate BSL-3 and BSL-4 (maximum biosafety) facilities.
Targeted at researchers, undergraduate and graduate students, and professionals from academic and research institutions who currently work or plan to start working in BSL-3 laboratories, the training aims to promote safe laboratory practices in these environments. It also contributes to the development of potential future users of Orion—a laboratory complex dedicated to pathogen research, featuring Latin America’s first BSL-4 facilities, and the world’s first such facilities connected to a synchrotron light source, Sirius.
Registration period: January 13 to January 24, 2025.
