I share laboratory space with another faculty member who is registered for recombinant DNA work. Doesn’t that registration also cover what I do in our shared lab?
In some cases it might. Investigators sharing laboratory space also share registration and training obligations. Recombinant DNA work may be registered either under the investigator in whose lab the work is occurring or under the principal investigator of a project. For example, investigators in charge of labs where recombinant DNA work occurs are responsible for ensuring that there is a registration in place with the IBC covering all the recombinant DNA work occurring in their lab space. In addition, they must maintain documentation of the training status for all the individuals working in the lab with recombinant DNA at BL2 or BL2+ containment. Stated another way, principal investigators who are not themselves registered for recombinant DNA work, and who are having this work performed in another investigator’s lab, are responsible for ensuring that it is occurring in a laboratory that is registered with the IBC for that type of work and that it is conducted by individuals who have re
