The Importance of Hazard Communications in Clinical Trials Involving Genetic Engineering

Advarra

Recombinant DNA technologies and genetically modified biological agents are being adapted for a wide scope of therapeutic applications, and their use is becoming increasingly common in clinical trials. Synthetic mRNA-based therapeutics used in clinical research today also fall into this self-limiting class of recombinant therapeutics.

IBC vs. IRB: What’s the Difference?

Advarra

Gene therapy research is exciting and full of promise, but because of the risks involved, it’s also highly regulated, requiring an institutional biosafety committee (IBC) to provide additional oversight and risk assessment. The IBC also reviews to confirm a comprehensive risk mitigation plan is in place prior to starting the research.
