In 2024, the University of Michigan (U-M) Medical School rolled out a lab safety awareness contest for research laboratories. A quiz was developed that included questions related to biological and chemical research and addressed frequent and/or high-risk inspection deficiencies and incidents on the medical campus. Prizes were chosen that supported and improved safety in the areas the quiz covered. There will be time for Q&A.

It’s never been more important for biosafety professionals and institutions to submit questions! This webinar will begin with a brief presentation explaining the process. It will also encourage all shareholders to prepare to submit comments to the NIH to amplify the voices of biosafety in this process. This will be an interactive, open forum discussion without a formal panel. Participants can submit questions anonymously with their registration or live during the webinar.

Because it’s now more important than ever, the 16th Annual MABioN Biosafety Symposium will still be held, just not in-person and not August 3-5, 2020 in Ann Arbor, MI. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our annual Biosafety Symposium will be held remotely through our GoToWebinar platform. You can still participate, present, and attend – and get CM points from ABSA – but you can do it from home or office.
