The Pirbright Institute opened the doors of it's laboratories on Saturday 19th July, to mark 100 years of research into livestock diseases. The institute was founded as a cattle testing station for tuberculosis in 1914, in more recent years it had become a centre for virus research. The open day included tours of the newly constructed laboratory complex. Visitors also had the chance to talk to scientists and enjoy interactive, hands on exhibits.
