ACEGID has a strict safety policy in place to ensure the safety of all personnel and our community. Scientists are not allowed to work in our lab until they have undergone our laboratory safety course. All personnel must wear appropriate safety gear, such as lab coats, goggles, and gloves, as appropriate when working in the laboratory. We have worked through several epidemics (Ebola, Lassa fever, Yellow Fever, Covid-19, etc.) without any incident of laboratory-induced infection.

The laboratory has a number of resources available to researchers, including cutting edge equipment, automated wet lab workflow stations and state-of-the-art sequencing platforms,
