Overview
The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) registers biological projects for research, clinical, and teaching activities conducted at locations in Boston and Nahant.
The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) review and approval process begins with the Biosafety Program (BSP) onboarding each Principal Investigator (PI) to the specifics of the SciShield BIO-MODULE. This onboarding process equips PIs with technical guidance and an understanding of the necessary information required for the IBC to assess the safety of the proposed work.
The Principal Investigator (PI) is responsible for the safe conduct of experiments and for full compliance with the regulations and policies applicable to the work.
