    Collapse Overview 
    Collapse overview
    Laboratory safety, especially biosafety, is a critical component of research activities conducted in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago (UC), including infectious diseases research conducted in UC laboratories located either in Hyde Park or at the Howard T. Ricketts Biocontainment Laboratory, a regional biocontainment lab located on the campus of Argonne National Laboratories. Standard operating procedures and research-related protocols are developed with safety as a primary objective. Whenever possible, we incorporate empirical data into our risk assessment process to optimize safety while at the same time minimizing procedures that might potentially disrupt or unnecessarily complicate primary research activities. Unfortunately, empirical biosafety data is, in many cases, unavailable. My group is interested in exploring these basic research-related biosafety questions. To this end, we have established an applied biosafety research program which is included as part of a post-doctoral fellowship program designed to train post-graduate level scientists (Ph.D., M.D., D.V.M.) on how to manage biosafety programs at major academic, government, or industry-related research institutes.

    PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
