The Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) is responsible for overseeing research performed at Carleton involving recombinant and synthetic nucleic acid molecules — as defined in Carleton’s Policy and in the NIH Guidelines — in order to protect the health and safety of employees and the public.
Contact
For questions or concerns about biosafety or about the IBC at Carleton, contact Associate Provost Eric Egge, (507) 222-4301.
