Biologics Regulation and ResearchThe People and Work of Buildings 29 & 29A

...

As part of the documentation and mitigation program for Buildings 29 and 29A, 22 people who worked in the two buildings between 1960 and 2014, first for the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and later for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), were selected to have biographies completed for this online exhibitionhistory. They represent a variety of positions within the two organizations including: lab technician, medical doctor, administrator, researcher, and director. Some of these individuals worked in laboratories their whole careers while others worked in offices, or with animals, or in a combination of several of these roles.

In these two buildings, NIH and then FDA staff helped to conquer some of the deadliest infectious diseases. In their regulatory role roles they had the national responsibility to license vaccines, antitoxins, blood products, and other biologics to ensure their safety and effectiveness. To support this mission, they did scientific research which resulted in the development of important standards and even new vaccines. This list of 22 individuals includes some of the most well-known scientists and their support staff at the NIH and FDA.
