Comment: Accepting this is a stub, nevertheless it requires evidence of notability to meet WP:NORG. This is often very difficult to meet, and at the moment none of the sources do that. Hence the reason why it was moved to draft space, the idea being that in draft mode the sources can be improved. At the moment it has the same sources as were present when draftification was done. The COVID stories give very little cover of the lab in NORG terms and the LA Daily Post articles are not giving that significant coverage of the lab itself, they address more one particular aspect of the lab.
