It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to submit a completed IBC application/registration to the Institutional Biosafety Committee

IBC Protocol submission process (NEW)

All activities involving potentially biohazardous materials (pathogens) must be registered with and approve by the Institutional Biosafety Committee.  Before any research with biohazard material can begin, an IBC Protocol will need to be reviewed and approved by our Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC).
