This page provides guidelines for GMO use at St George's research. We have now merged with City to become City St George’s.

 

1. Summary

In order to be able to work with GMOs at St George’s you must:

1.1 Inform and receive written (email) approval for the activity from the Director of your Institute.

1.2 Complete one of the genetic modification Risk Assessment (RA) forms downloadable from this page (see below) and email it to the Biological Safety Officer for Genetic Modification (BSO-GM)

1.3 If required, review the RA following the recommendations of the BSO-GM and the Genetic Modification Safety Committee (GMSC) and re-submit.

1.4 If the activity is categorised as Class 1 (see RA form) you can start work immediately after the BSO-GM confirms that the GMSC has approved the activity. If the activity is categorised as class 2 or above, the HSE will have to be notified before activities can commence (see below).

1.5 You must complete a GM-work self-audit, which will be sent to you on a yearly basis at the start of the academic year, until the project is suspended or terminated.

1.6 You are responsible for destroying all GMOs registered under your name or transfer them -internally or externally- and informing the BSO-GM before leaving St George’s.
