Biosafety 

Biosafety in research is crucial to protect researchers, the public, and the environment from potential hazards associated with biological agents and toxins. It ensures that laboratory practices, containment procedures, and safety protocols are in place to prevent accidental exposure, infection, or release of harmful organisms. By adhering to biosafety guidelines, researchers can conduct their work safely and responsibly, minimizing risks and fostering public trust in scientific research.

The Howard University Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC) reviews research that involves biosafety concerns.
