Laboratories and Divisions
When the Division of Biologics Standards (DBS) was established in 1955, this centralized the biologics regulatory function at the NIH into one division rather than spread across multiple laboratories. However, for the first five years the staff was still spread amongst 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 and demands of vaccine production and other biologics regulations. By 1968, the DBS had the following seven laboratories. When the DBS was administratively transferred to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 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 entirely.
