Description:
Depicted in this 2007 photograph is CDC microbiologist Dr. Davis Lupo, shown using a luminometer to measure HIV infection of human cells in vitro, while Lee Lam observes. By employing various chemical reactions to the laboratory cell sample, the release of energy, in the form of emitted light, or bioluminescence, is then measured by this luminometer in quantitative units known as RLUs, or “relative light units.” Dr. Lupo and Ms. Lam are National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention (NCHHSTP) staff members, who work inside the center’s Laboratory Branch (LB).

CDC laboratorians working in a BSL-4 Lab

Description:
This image depicts two Centers for Disease Control and Prevention laboratorians, Luanne Elliot and Dave Auperin, as they work under a flow hood inside one of the CDC′s BSL-4 (Bio Safety Lab) laboratories. CDC scientists working in the biosafety labs must wear protective clothing and head gear, and are supplied air via overhead lines that plug into the suit. The flow hood pulls air into the experimental area by creating a negative pressure, thereby, preventing pathogens from getting out into the general laboratory environment.
