Institutional Biosafety Committee

Why is institutional biosafety important? |
||
|
|
The primary mission of The University of Toledo Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) is to ensure the safety of faculty, staff and students participating in biological research at The University of Toledo, as well as humans and vertebrate animals enrolled in such studies. In addition, protocol review and approval by the IBC also serves to protect the general public and the environment from adverse consequences related to that research. University policy #3364-70-06 requires that all research involving the use of biological agents (or potential biohazards) must be submitted to the IBC for review and approval before research faculty may engage in any activities including such materials. Biological agents include but are not limited to: viruses; bacteria; fungi; parasites; recombinant and synthetic nucleic acids; select agents and toxins; human blood, cells/cell lines, and other human tissues and products; stem cells; plant cell lines; non-rodent transgenic animals; and animal blood, cells/cell lines, and other animal tissues and products. When such agents are to be introduced into live vertebrate animals, final approval of the associated animal use protocol by The University of Toledo Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee (IACUC) is contingent upon IBC approval of the associated protocol for use of a biohazard. When such agents are to be introduced into live humans, final approval of the associated research protocol by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is contingent upon IBC approval of the associated protocol for the use of a biohazard.
