About the course
For those who do not have the experience or are not acquainted with the Swedish laws and regulations governing work with infectious substances or GMM, the course “Working with Biorisks: Infectious Substances and Genetically Modified Microorganisms” is held several times each semester, 09:00-16:45 at BMC C6:109a
The course is free of charge for those who work at Uppsala University (2.000:- for external participants), and is primarily aimed at bachelor/master students, Ph.D. students, post-docs, laboratory assistants, and new group leaders. During the course we discuss the organization of Uppsala University, Swedish laws and ordinances, work with infectious substances, waste management, incidents and accidents, practical risk assessments, containment and clean-up of a simulated biological spill, how to handle sharps, and biosecurity. The course is held in English, and comes with complementary “fika” and lunch.
For Uppsala University Ph.D. students the course can often yield ”Ph.D. points”, ask your course administrator if this is the case at your institution. The course is not aimed at students in basic education as it does not yield credits ”högskolepoäng”
