Changes in the Office of Research Ethics

August 5, 2025

We are pleased to announce that the Animal Care, Biosafety, Radiation & Chemical Safety Committees have now joined the Office of Research Ethics. Given the strong alignment between our roles and responsibilities, the units will all benefit by working together more closely. Please reach out to Jean Ruiz if you have any questions about this change.  

Please watch for changes to the ORE website, coming soon.
