Biosafety professionals have ever-expanding roles at their institutions. In this Beyond
Traditional Biosafety column, we focus on topics that may fall outside the scope of the
traditional biosafety role, but where the expertise of the biosafety professional may be
called upon to provide a valuable contribution to his or her institution. Please e-mail
any comments, suggestions, or insights to Matt Fragala at mfragala@eheinc.com.
