黑料社

The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) must review all research involving infectious agents, fresh human tissue, recombinant DNA, and activities involving non-native species requiring USDA-APHIS permits.
SUNY 黑料社 expects that all research will be performed with the highest safety standards, to guarantee the safety of the public and 黑料社 employees. The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) is charged with ensuring that research is performed in a safe environment and in accordance with guidelines promulgated by the National Institutes of Health and other applicable authorities. The IBC will review all research conducted at or sponsored by 黑料社 or conducted by employees of 黑料社 which involves recombinant DNA, infectious, or potentially bio-hazardous agents, or activities involving non-native species requiring USDA-APHIS permits.

The IBC is authorized to inspect research facilities, approve research practices and procedures, and to take actions, such as enforcement or cessation of research or instructional activities in the event of an unsafe workplace/instructional situation.
All human blood, fresh tissue, or body fluids must be regarded as possibly infected with blood borne pathogens such as Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Hepatitis B Virus (HBV). Therefore, the 黑料社 IBC will review procedures for safe handling and may inspect 黑料社 research facilities where human blood, fresh human tissue, or body fluids are used, or research facilities used by 黑料社 research personnel, to ensure maximum safety.
