"We talked about having things we can share -- reagents, mice, methods, technologies, strains. Perhaps that is the right way to do science." Joseph Newsome, associate professor of pathology and clinical director of the Division of Laboratory Animal Resources at the University of Pittsburgh, reminded the workshop audience that the idea behind specific pathogen-free animal facilities and models arose in the 1950s and 1960s as a means of standardizing animal models in order to reduce variability and improve translation of results to humans.

Newsome mentioned the need for training and infrastructure development, and he referred to Betty Theriault's suggestion that the nation might need centers of excellence to train investigators and share resources. He also referred to Vowles's suggestion that the field would benefit from standards and regulations for gnotobiotic facilities.
