The Doctor perks a little at that, like a dog swiveling its ears forward in interest, possibly after spotting something small and furry and fun to chase. "Are there really? Contagion Containment... Probably a lab of some sort, am I right? I love a good lab..."
Not so much for the laboratory itself - though that's useful, he's been known to do his science just as comfortably sprawled on the floor in the balcony of a theatre as in a sanitized and polished lab - but because laboratories are where you find scientists. The Doctor - this Doctor, anyway - will never pass up a chance to meet someone clever and scientifically-inclined.
