Fun fact: there's actually a fully-equipped pathology lab in the debris field, albeit one buried within an asteroid and full of zombies.
Most of the lax security in pathology comes from the fact that currently, pathogens are incredibly easy to spread and there's not many precautions that can be taken by regular crew-members or pathologists. A gas mask or medical mask, for example, should be an effective protection against any airborne pathogens.
It's incredibly easy to create a pathogen that'll infect half the crew very quickly, even by accident. Making a pathogen highly infectious should come at a high chance for mutation, reducing the potential impact of high tier symptoms that can be loaded on them.
I'd support the airbridge idea, as the current layout makes pathology a free through-fare between medical and genetics, when it really should be a closed off dead end. Use the current space path takes up for a chemical lab or something.
I'd also suggest a separate monkeydome on the satellite, because why on earth are the plague-rat monkeys being mixed with the genetic-engineered monkeys, that's a disaster movie premise twofer.
