Mission
The IBC is charged with the responsibility for review, approval and
surveillance of all research protocols at the University of Chicago
involving
the use of biohazardous materials including recombinant DNA, agents
infectious
to humans, animals or plants, and other genetically altered organisms
and
agents.
Hazardous Materials
Laboratory research may involve the use of a wide range of substances,
which can be considered hazardous to laboratory personnel, animals,
plants
or the environment. Such hazards include biohazardous materials, chemicals,
and radioactive substances; use of
such
hazardous materials in the laboratory and/or clinic is regulated by
oversight
committees and/or administrative offices.
Defining Biohazardous Materials
Biohazardous materials include recombinant DNA, agents infectious to
humans, animals or plants (e.g. parasites, viruses, bacteria, fungi),
and
other genetically altered organisms and agents. Using these materials
in
laboratory or clinical requires the prior review and approval of the
Institutional
Biosafety Committee, and may require the review of the Institutional
Animal Care and Use Committee or the Institutional
Review
Board (Humans).
