Fauci-Funded Texas Lab Trained Wuhan Researchers How To Work With 'World's Most Dangerous Pathogens.'

The Galveston National Laboratory - a project of Anthony Fauci's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases - has engaged in "Long-term personnel exchanges" and training programs with the Wuhan Institute of Virology's Biosafety Level Four facility.

Presentation documents from the Director of the Texas-based lab, which describes itself as "Constructed under grants awarded by National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases," reveals a multi-year collaborative relationship with the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The Galveston National Laboratory hosts a training center for researchers working at facilities with various Biosafety Levels, including the BSL 4 category found at the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

The 2018 Science article highlighted in the slide above was co-authored by GNL Director James Le Duc and Wuhan Institute of Virology Deputy Director Zhiming Yuan and discusses their joint handling of the "World's most dangerous pathogens." It also chronicles.

"We direct a newly constructed maximum biocontainment laboratory in Wuhan, China, and an established MCL in the United States, in Galveston, Texas. In preparation for the opening of the new China MCL, we engaged in short- and long-term personnel exchanges focused on biosafety training, building operations and maintenance, and collaborative scientific investigations in biocontainment. We succeeded in transferring proven best practices to the new Wuhan facility. Both labs recently signed formal cooperative agreements that will streamline future scientific and operational collaborations on dangerous pathogens, although funding for research and the logistics of exchanging specimens are challenges that we have yet to solve."

A separate profile on the GNL also documents the lab's close ties to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

"Dr. Xia came to Galveston from the Wuhan Institute of Virology in Wuhan, China. She is a graduate of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, where she received her doctorate degree in biochemistry and molecular biology. She arrived during the summer of 2013 to focus on research in the areas of viruses, diagnostic assay method of diseases, vaccine research, gene function, genomic and evolution analysis and epidemiology," her bio begins.
