Institutional Biological Safety Committee (IBC)

LANL's Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC), which includes both subject matter experts (SMEs) and independent peers, is the key to biosafety at LANL. No operations involving bioagents/biohazards, including collaborations and work for others (i.e., non-DOE work) shall be conducted at LANL without IBC review. Operations involving bioagents/biohazards shall be conducted only by qualified, trained personnel after institutional acceptance of the work and concurrency by IBC, as required.
