The IBC makes certain that research conducted at the Institution is in compliance with the NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules and the Select Agent Rule, drafts campus biosafety policies and procedures, and reviews individual research proposals for biosafety concerns.
The UNMC/UNO IBC meets on the second Friday of each month from 3:00-4:00 p.m. To confirm the room number for an individual meeting, contact the IBC office by e-mailing ibcora@unmc.edu.
