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 the Office of Laboratory Safety (OLS) and the Vice President for Research with regards to the acquistion, 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.

The IBC meets on the first Friday of each month. These meetings are open to the public. For more information on meeting dates and times, email Sarah Gillette, Biological safety Officer, at sgillett@gmu.edu.
