This spring has been quite an adventure! We are now trying to work under appropriate standard operating procedures (SOPs) to conduct essential biomedical research in the time of the SARS-CoV2 pandemic.

As a result of animal allergies, many personnel on our research team are quite accustomed to working with masks on (i.e. N95s!). We often also work in pairs. Now, however, we must also follow strict guidance to complete our work with minimal person-to-person contact while donning essential PPE in all spaces of the University.

To conduct our work safely, we have generated several SOPs for in-person research. I am happy to share our general SOP for work in laboratory during COVID

Be safe and stay healthy!
