The academic mission at
Georgia State University(GSU) has changed considerably since it was established in 1913.

Research involving biological agents and recombinant DNA has dramatically increased over the past several decades which has resulted in many unique and complex challenges.

These matters have been further complicated by new federal rules and regulations which were introduced to help protect the public against the threat of bioterrorism. This site was developed to assist the GSU community in complying with these new rules and regulations as well as adhering to the guiding principles of biosafety.
