BSL-3 Practices Core

项目总结:

Project Summary: The UAB Southeastern Biocontainment Laboratory (SEBLAB) is supported by personnel with diverse expertise across the campus including: physical security, police, facilities, information technology, occupational medicine, animal resources, research scientists, and biosafety experts all of whom require initial and continuous training to sustain safe and efficient high containment operations. Core-2 seeks to support a solid and effective biosafety workforce and provide access to specific external training opportunities that tether biosafety concepts and principles to the specific specialties outlined above. Personnel from selected units will be funded to attend external training opportunities that complement their high containment roles. Training will entail select conferences, webinars, courses, and a personnel exchange program with other network regional biocontainment labs (RBLs), enabling specialists from one institution to observe how their counterparts conduct operations. Individuals sent for external training will then serve as subject matter experts within their specific units and work closely with UAB Biosafety to enhance and implement high quality internal training programs critical to the safe execution of high containment research in the UAB SEBLAB.
