Biosafety Program Responsibilities

The Biosafety Team is part of the Biosafety and Occupational Health Department (BOHD) and is responsible for system-wide coordination and oversight of biosafety, biocontainment, and biosecurity. This includes the administration of the federally-mandated Select Agent program. The Biosafety Team serves as subject matter experts and provides the University community with technical guidance, training, and resources to promote a culture of safety in biological research, teaching, and diagnostic activities. This work is risk assessment-based, and involves the interpretation of federal, state, and University regulations and guidelines.
