Harbin Veterinary Research Institute (HVRI) is a Chinese biological research institute located in Harbin, China. It is under the supervision of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences (CAAS).[citation needed]
HVRI was created in 1948 and is the first veterinary medicine research institute in China.[citation needed]
In 2013 the HVRI has come to the public attention due to the controversies surrounding its research on H5N1 and H1N1 viruses.[1][2]
In 2018, the Institute put the country's second biosafety level-4 (BSL-4) lab, and the first for large animals, into operation.[3]
