Institutional Biosafety Committees of the University of Oklahoma
Welcome to the University of Oklahoma's Biosafety webpage, your go-to resource for ensuring a safe and compliant research environment. Our mission is to safeguard the health and safety of our researchers, staff, and the broader community through rigorous biosafety practices. The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) plays a pivotal role in this effort, overseeing research involving biohazards, ensuring compliance with federal, state, and university regulations, and reviewing protocols to protect both researchers and the environment. Additionally, our laboratory safety programs provide comprehensive guidelines and support to mitigate risks and promote best practices in all research activities. Together, we strive to foster a culture of safety and responsibility at the University of Oklahoma.
