Institutional Biosafety Committee
The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) is an advisory committee at George Mason University (Mason) dedicated to excellence in the science and practice of biological safety. Committee members are involved in understanding, evaluating, and controlling the potential risks from recombinant DNA, biohazardous materials, and biologically-derived toxins. The activities of the IBC are those appropriate to accomplish its role in advising EHS and the Vice President for Research and Economic Development with regards to the acquisition, storage, use, and disposal of recombinant DNA, biohazardous materials, and biologically-derived toxins at Mason, and in monitoring and recommending as necessary, modifications to Mason’s Biosafety Program.
