Information about how to registe laboratories for genetic engineering work and activities with infectious agents
Depending on the work and organisms to be worked with, approvals or registrations or notifications must be made with various authorities and various bodies must be contacted internally at the FUB.
A good strat, is to contact first colleagues already dealing with this processes and then to go through the list below first reasing the linked information, checking the underlying laws and regulations and contacting the respective authoritis (always first the ones from FUB before conacting external authorities).
Legal Office → Always contact before LaGeSo, takes over the registration of genetic engineering work and laboratories (S1/S2), also advises on the registration of genetic engineering work and laboratories:
