IU's Biological Safety Program ensures the safe use of recombinant DNA (rDNA), pathogenic microorganisms, and other infectious agents and toxins in research. We strive not just to comply with federal regulations, but also to adhere to the highest ethical standards when it comes to protecting you and the environment from potential exposure to hazards.

Our job is to:

• Keep you informed about federal regulations so you can stay current with evolving standards
• Educate you about your responsibility to protect yourself and the environment while working with potential biohazards
• Develop new approaches that keep the Biological Safety Program effective and current
