CDC Halts Disease Research at Texas A&M U. July 2, 2007 Chronicle of Higher Education, July 2, 2007 COLLEGE STATION - Texas A&M University has been ordered to immediately halt all work on federally supported research on the most dangerous infectious diseases, after the university allegedly failed to report two cases of exposure of laboratory workers. A spokeswoman for the Texas A&M University system confirmed on Sunday that the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had indefinitely suspended the university from doing work on "select agents" monitored by the agency. The ban was originally reported in The Dallas Morning News. Partners in the center are the University of California at Davis, the University of Southern California, and the University of Texas Medical Branch. « Back | The Newsroom »
