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. IRBs are tasked with protecting research subject’s rights and welfare. How are IBCs Different from IRBs?
