BSL3 The BSL2/3 laboratory is a core facility of CCMB, and functions as a safe working environment for high-risk and high-security microbial pathogens, where properly trained users handle various pathogenic microbes under safe conditions, protecting the user, environment, and the community from any risk. 

It has been built for handling the microorganisms classified under BSL-2 and BSL-3 category. The facility is built to cater the research needs of the research groups working in the field of virology, bacteriology and parasitology. Each level of containment has specific microbiological practices, safety equipment and facility safeguards for the corresponding level of risk associated with handling of a particular agent. Experimental protocols are reviewed and approved by Institutional Biosafety committee to insure maximum safety of all planned experiments. The Biosafety Level 3 laboratory is kept at negative air pressure and has special engineering and design features to prevent microorganisms from being disseminated into the environment.
