IBC Activities Requiring Review
The IBC establishes, recommends, and/or approves policies on the proper use of biological materials including, but not limited to:
-
recombinant/synthetic DNA,
-
creation of transgenic animals and plants,
-
agents infectious for humans, animals or plants (including bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi),
-
human/primate sourced materials (including human and primate tissue culture cell lines, blood, serum, plasma, unfixed cells, other potentially infectious materials (OPIM per Cal OSHA),
-
animals exposed to or infected with recombinant/synthetic DNA,
-
biologically active agents (e.g. toxins) that may cause disease in other living organisms or cause significant impact to the environment or community.
If your research does not involve biological material, no registration is required. Examples include:
-
Environmental soil or water samples
-
Proteins (except prions or biological toxins) purchased from a vendor and used outside of living organisms
-
Chemicals or nanoparticles without a biological rDNA, or SNA component
