When the Division of Biologics Standards (DBS) was established in 1955, this it centralized the biologics regulatory function at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) was centralized into one division, rather than spread across having staff in multiple laboratories and institutes; however, for the first five years, the staff was still spread amongst among multiple buildings on the NIH campus. In 1960, Building 29 was completed, and the staff was consolidated into one space. During the early 1960s, the laboratories and the sections within them were still being finalized and organized based on the growing needs scientific knowledge and the demands of vaccine production and other biologics regulations. By 1968, the DBS had established the below seven laboratories described below.

When the DBS was administratively transferred to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Bureau of Biologics in 1972, many of these labs remained the same, but under the title of Division instead of Laboratory. During the 1980s there was significant reorganization, and many divisions were combined, abandoned, or changed names laboratories changed names, combined with other laboratories, or were closed entirely.
