Biosciences and biotechnology division[edit]

The lab’s research had expanded into biology and genes since 1963, when it began to study the human-health consequences of environmental radiation exposure. Lawrence Livermore was major contributor to the Human Genome Project.

Livermore Labs has a Biosciences and Biotechnology Division, whose past projects have included studies of “how to better determine the origin of a virus,” how coronaviruses such as SARS and MERS transferred from animals to human beings, portable virus-detection technologies, rare mutations of viruses within animal hosts, the movement of virus-like particles through the air, and to identify effective countermeasures.

Issues[edit]

I'm concerned that there needs to be a greater density of citations on this article, and/or some promotional-sounding sections need to be rewritten. Some paragraphs and sections are entirely citation-less, and sentences like "The laboratory also applies its special expertise and multidisciplinary capabilities towards preventing the proliferation and use of weapons of mass destruction, bolstering homeland security, and solving other nationally important problems"...could be more encyclopaedic.

Particular focus on the sections:

Overview
Other programs
Key accomplishments
Key facilities
Largest computers
Livermore Valley Open Campus (LVOC)
Sponsors
Organization
Corporate management
