The Genetic Modifiaction Safety Officer for the UCLCI is Mrs sonia Buckingham, who
can be contacted for advice regarding completion of notification forms; risk assessments
and general advice for working with genetically modified organisms. Additional guidance
can be found on the UCL website

Work performed within the Institute should conform to the Genetically Modified
Organisms (Contained Use) Regulations 2000 and the subsequent amendments and the
UCL Local Rules for Genetic Modification, copies of which are available from Sonia
Buckingham.
A project risk assessment and notification form for work with genetically modified
organisms form must be completed in advance for all proposed work. Forms can be
located at http://www.ucl.ac.uk/wibr/intranet/safety/form-downloads/index.htm. These
must be given to the GMSO and reviewed annually or if any changes to the protocol
occur.
New GM projects are sent to the UCL GM safety committee for discussion and approval.
