Viral Vectors and Biosafety Assessments
This one-day class, co-sponsored by Safety Partners and The Eagleson
Institute is designed to provide participants with a functional
understanding of the use of recombinant baculoviruses and lentiviruses
in the research laboratory. The instructors for this class will share
their scientific experience and their considerable knowledge of
host/vector systems through lecture and interactive class exercises.
Attendees will improve communication skills with colleagues and
integrate sound health and safety practices in their labs. This course
is presented using biotech-relevant case studies to help attendees
acquire a deeper understanding of molecular biology and to illustrate
core biosafety principles.
Who should attend:
- Biosafety Professionals
- Institutional Biosafety Committee Members including Community Representatives
- Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) Staff, Biosafety Officers and Chemical Hygiene Officers
- Research Technicians, Laboratory Staff and Scientists
- Safety Committee Members
- Operations and Facilities Staff
Upon completion of this course you will be able to:
- Integrate core concepts in molecular biology with biosafety principles
- List common examples of molecules, processes, and techniques involved in gene expression
- Explain risks associated with lentiviral and baculoviral vectors or vector systems
- Perform decisive evaluation and assessment of risk on viral vector research projects
- Apply new knowledge to procedures in your own workplace in line with risk assessment results
Viral Vectors and Biosafety Assessments will
enhance your understanding of viral vector systems with the additional benefit
of building on your value to your company and advancing your career!
