The USF Biosafety Program was established to reduce the risk of potential occupational exposure to biohazardous materials (i.e. infectious agents, rDNA, biological toxins, and Select Agents/Toxins) in a research and/or teaching environment and to prevent the release of biohazardous materials into the environment. The Biosafety Program also provides administrative support for the Institutional Biosafety Committee (IBC).

The IBC is responsible for overseeing the use of all infectious biological agents and recombinant DNA used in research and teaching activities on USF campuses.
