IBC Registration
All research involving recombinant or synthetic nucleic acid molecules, biohazardous agents (e.g. bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, prions) and/or human and non-human primates source materials (e.g. blood, bodily secretions and tissues, primary and established cell lines), must be registered with the IBC.
To be registered with the IBC, Principal Investigators (PIs) must submit a protocol describing procedures and practices to safely conduct projects involving items within the IBC purview.
IBC protocols for basic research can be submitted through an electronic application while clinical studies have a distinct process of registration.
