Biosafety
Overview
The 国产福利资源 Biosafety Program oversees the possession, use and storage of various infectious agents, recombinant deoxyribonucleic acid (rDNA), biological toxins, and select agents/toxins (commonly known as biohazardous materials) in a research and/or teaching environment.
Training Requirements for Researchers
Training in proper microbiological techniques is required for anyone working with recombinant DNA, infectious agents, select agents, and biological toxins or who works in a laboratory where these materials are used/stored. The assurance of proper training is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator (PI) or laboratory supervisor of the facility in which the hazard is used.
If you are a Principal Investigator (PI) at 国产福利资源 who possess or plans to possess, store, work with, or transport infectious agent(s), biological toxin(s), select agent(s)/toxin(s), and/or recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, you must register them with 国产福利资源鈥檚 Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC).
