Working in the Hot Zone:
Galveston's Microbe Hunters
Martin Enserink
GALVESTON, TEXAS--The University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB) here is quietly building a
topflight center for the study of emerging tropical and infectious diseases, and luring
many experts who previously might have scoffed at the idea. The newcomers are working
together in a Center for Tropical Diseases, which has excellent facilities and a critical
mass of bright minds to collaborate with. UTMB is also planning to build a biosafety level
4 lab, of which there are currently just a handful in the world; that would allow
Galveston researchers to study any virus they want to and really put their center on the
map, say colleagues.
