The IBC is charged with registering ALL recombinant DNA research even “exempt” work. Whether this research requires full IBC review and approval depends upon the genes being introduced into the tissue culture. The BSO and IBC Chair will make this decision. For a more detailed description of the experiments covered by the NIH Guidelines go to Section III http://www4.od.nih.gov/oba/rac/guidelines_02/NIH_Gdlnes_lnk_2002z.pdf.
