Biodefense Center to Open by Year's End
   posted 12:36 pm Sun January 27, 2008 - Frederick, Md.
A new Department of Homeland Security biodefense center at Fort Detrick should be open by the end of this year.

Officials say labs at the center should be operating by the end of 2009.

Administrative staff will move into the building's office spaces once construction is done, but it will take the Centers for Disease Control several months to certify the labs.
