IBC Services

For institutions that manage their IBC internally, Sitero can provide committee support and coordination. This can be as little or as much support as an institution needs but can remove the need for a dedicated IBC coordinator on-site while also adding Biosafety expertise.

Biosafety training is essential to a compliant and safe Biorisk management program. Education and training provides employers, managers, supervisors, and workers with the knowledge and skills needed to do their research safely.
