KU in the Capitol: KU bioterrorism team

U.S. Sen. Pat Roberts of Kansas announced last week that KU will receive $3.5 million from the U.S. Department of Defense to tackle two research projects that combat bioterrorism. Roberts made the announcement alongside KU administrators and researchers last month before a meeting of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce.
