All institutions undertaking experimental work where new organisms are developed by procedures involving recombinant DNA are required by the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) to establish and maintain an Institutional Biological Safety Committee (IBSC). The Genetic Technology Committee (GTC) is Massey’s IBSC.
The EPA has delegated to the GTC the authority to assess and approve applications for low risk development and importation of genetically modified organisms.
All applications for work at any campus of Massey University must follow the application procedures outlined on this site.
