Genetically Modified Organisms

As part of research studies at the university, genetically modified organisms may be used. Read more about our Genetic Modification Safety Committee (GMSC) and associated process.

The university has formed a Genetic Modification Safety Committee (GMSC) to review and potentially approve any proposals for work using relevant materials. Staff or students wishing to use any type of Genetically Modified material must first complete the appropriate documentation and obtain approval from the Biological Safety Officer.

The process for application and all associated documentation can be found within the Pharmacy and Life Sciences CampusMoodle Health and Safety module.

To access this information contact the Biological Safety Officer (BSO) Dr Neil McEwan at n.mcewan@rgu.ac.uk or +44(0) 1224 262814.
