How and when do I have to register with the UR Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC)?
Registration with the IBC is required if you will be working with recombinant DNA molecules. Registration with the IBC is ALSO required if you will be working with or producing a material or agent that requires biosafety level (BSL) 2 or higher containment. Approval of experiments requiring biosafety level 2 or higher containment must be granted by the IBC PRIOR to initiation of these experiments. BSL-1 experiments requiring IBC registration may be initiated simultaneously with IBC registration. IBC registration instructions can be found under Polices and Procedures off the IBC home page.
