Safety

Before embarking on R&D in biotechnology, it is important to recognize that many laws and regulations exist to help ensure that the R&D is safe for the researcher, the consumer, the environment, and the general public. We will not attempt to itemize all of the issues, but rather provide some pointers on where to start.
